Caracol AM Heron 200 3D Printer
The solution is one of the leading LFAM systems in the world, and the only one that is offered as a turnkey solution to maximize flexibility, process control, and performance for clients who want to manufacture parts on-demand and in-situ.
The system can produce components with a wide range of thermoplastics and composites (both from virgin and recycled origins) in the form of pellets and shreds. This makes the system ideal for the production of several medium to large-scale parts, such as: structural elements, tooling (e.g., jigs for positioning, drilling, and cutting, molds, assembly rigs, beams), prototypes, metal replacement, temporary or permanent substitution of parts, and an array of applications and components that continue to be discovered every day.

SOLUTION-ORIENTED
LARGE SCALE COMPONENTS
Caracol’s robotic system prints advanced parts with no scale limits, up to 12 m.
Complex Parts
Caracol’s software algorithms and use of a 6-axis robotic arm allow to manufacture a higher number of applications and more complex geometries.
Lower Operating Costs & Flexibility
A highly flexible that adapts to productive needs, it works efficiently with low operating costs without compromising on quality and performance.
Lower Raw Material Costs
Works with a wide range of composites: from advanced techno polymers blended with fibers (e.g., carbon, glass) to recycled material shreds.
Drastically Cuts Material Waste
Can reduce up to 60% raw material used in production, using only material needed and printing without supports, it can also manufacture using recycled material.

HIGH ACCURACY (HA)
The High Accuracy extruder was developed with
the aim of providing an extremely lightweight and
compact solution.
The small size ensures the system’s greater agility
during the printing phase by limiting risks of collision
with printed parts.
These characteristics make the machine great for
printing at high speed while ensuring the highest
quality in material processing.
HIGH FLOW (HF)
The High Flow extruder was built to provide a high
throughput, temperature, and robust structure to
process an extensive range of technical polymers
and composites.
It was designed with the aim of drastically
reducing printing times to optimize the
production of very large components. It can be
installed on higher-payload robots, which also
provide a greater build volume.
