Caracol (Milan, Italy and Austin, Texas, U.S.), a company known in the robotic large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) space, is returning to JEC World for the fourth consecutive year with multiple case studies developed by clients in the mobility sector using its robotic LFAM platforms. At the Caracol booth, attendees can take a closer look at several of its sophisticated application-driven technologies implemented in projects around the world.

Gain insight into Caracol’s integrated ecosystem of robotic hardware platforms, proprietary software, materials, process and application know-how. Products on display include a train front cover developed with Alstom; a composite lamination tool for aircraft developed by Formes et Volumes; and a custom yacht hardtop developed with Treddy and Polymaker. A finished race car roof developed using Caracol technology by ES Garaj and LFAM Center, said to be the largest LFAM production center in Turkey, is also viewable.
