**Company Description**

Caracol offers extreme, Additive Manufacturing, solutions with no scale limits to companies in different industrial sectors.

The company has developed its own Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing Robotic system, that with a patented extrusion head, proprietary algorithms and the use of robotic arms, can manufacture advanced components with no limits in scale. The flexibility of the robotic system allows not only to manufacture very large-scale parts but also complex geometries and parts with improved mechanical performance. Caracol provides a solution that saves production costs, reduced production lead time, and limits production waste to a minimum and can reutilize the waste produced.

Caracol’s team combines a deep expertise in generative design and additive manufacturing, with an extensive knowledge of the industrial goods sector. Using very advanced design and analysis tools to optimize design for additive manufacturing according to the required performance. We work with clients accompanying them throughout the production process, supporting them by facilitating their getting to know the technologies and the opportunities of Additive Manufacturing.

We have been working with customers from industries such as Automotive and Motorsports, Aerospace and Defense, Industrial Machinery, Medical Devices, Design and Architecture. We offer our clients a broad range of solutions: from design and concept development, engineering components for AM production, manufacturing prototypes and pre-series with no limit in scale, line production of finished parts, as well as support in internalizing 3D printing technologies, 3D printing training and workshops and more.
