Caracol created Heron AM with end-user needs in mind, after years of research and experience manufacturing parts for clients across sectors. The system is ideal for the production of parts like tooling (e.g., jigs and fixtures, molds, etc.), prototypes, metal replacement, temporary or permanent substitution of parts, as well as structural and finished parts in several sectors.
Fundamental parts of Heron AM are the extruders -- Caracol offers 3 different options, all developed in house and fully integrated with the platform. Caracol's extruders are built to guarantee results -- from precision, to flexibility, to high throughput. The machine is built to process a wide range of thermoplastic and composite pellets, from advanced to recycled or bio-based materials.
