We spoke with Gael Lacord, Technical & Commercial Director and Partner at Formes et Volumes, about how robotic LFAM is transforming the production of prototypes, molds, and large-scale models across industries. In this episode, he explains how the company naturally evolved from traditional manufacturing toward large-format 3D printing, recognizing it as a key part of the future of their business.
By integrating Caracol’s robotic technology into their workflow, Formes et Volumes gained greater flexibility and freedom of movement through 6-axis robotic manufacturing, overcoming the limitations of more rigid cartesian systems. The collaboration with Caracol also provided strong technical support, material expertise, and a collaborative approach tailored to customer needs.
Today, large-format additive manufacturing is enabling Formes et Volumes to accelerate production timelines, address new markets, attract new clients, and produce molds, prototypes, and mock-ups through a more efficient and sustainable manufacturing process.
