Heron AM

An Integrated Turnkey Solution with a Set of Core Elements
3D Printers
Caracol AM Large Format Robotic 3D Printer

HERON AM is Caracol's Large-Format Additive Manufacturing system: a robotized extrusion head, with direct and continuous feeding of composites and polymers, a dedicated software platform for the most complex tool paths, and many more features to fully integrate all that is needed to manufacture advanced industrial parts.

Heron AM can be flexibly integrated in clients’ shop floors with different customizable options. The Engineering team works hand-in-hand with clients’ teams to understand manufacturing needs and the types of applications that one intends to manufacture with their system to define the exact layout, additional features, and define the ideal configuration.

Having developed the platform as a modular integrated hardware and software solution there are a set of key elements which complete the structure. Moreover, the portfolio of Heron AM platforms includes a range of alternative models (e.g., extruders, robotic arms, ...), and it is also possible to include optional features to achieve specific requirements
