Robotic large format additive production for Jigs & Molds image

Robotic Advanced Manufacturing (LFAM) is revolutionizing how industrial jigs and molds are designed and produced, introducing new levels of speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency across multiple industries.

By replacing traditional, labor-intensive manufacturing methods, Caracol’s LFAM solutions enable the creation of complex geometries and consolidated parts, reducing assembly operations, post-processing, and material waste. This results in lighter, more efficient, and economically sustainable tools.

LFAM delivers tangible advantages in the production of jigs and molds:

  • Manufacturing agility: A fully digital, on-demand workflow cuts lead times and streamlines supply chains.
  • Design freedom & part consolidation: Enables large, complex shapes or modular tools, simplifying maintenance and configuration.
  • Advanced materials: From technical polymers and fiber-reinforced composites to metal alloys, with sustainable options.
  • High customization: Ideal for low-volume, specialized, or out-of-standard tooling requirements.
  • Simplified workflow: Printed parts closely match final geometries, minimizing CNC finishing and material waste

Compared to traditional processes, often costly and slow, robotic LFAM achieves up to 70% faster production and 30% lower costs, while also reducing environmental impact.

This makes it an ideal solution for high-performance, agile tooling production From RTM lamination tools and master models to drilling jigs, thermoforming, and formwork, Caracol’s LFAM technology provides a scalable and sustainable alternative to conventional manufacturing, accelerating innovation and optimizing the entire tooling workflow.
