Transforming Manufacturing with Real-Time Monitoring: A Caracol AM Use Case

Subtitle/Overview: Caracol AM leverages advanced monitoring systems to revolutionize the additive manufacturing process, enhancing quality control and enabling certification.

Background/Challenge-problem resolved: Caracol aimed to push the limits of Additive Manufacturing with the HERON AM, expanding capabilities in scale, shape, and materials.

Implementation Process:

Collaboration between teams (AIMEN, the Technology Center that helped them to implement the new process, and Caracol taem) to adapt software and hardware, culminating in a successful integration test and the creation of a process digital twin for a demonstration part​​.

Results and impact:

Successful integration of a monitoring system.

g

Development of a process digital twin.

Enhanced process control and optimization capabilities.

Testimonial:

Luca Baglivo, Project Coordinator, Caracol AM​​.

“Working with the INTEGRADDE team and their technology transformed our manufacturing process. The collaboration between our teams and the readiness of the technology led to a successful integration test and the creation of a digital twin of a demo part, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in additive manufacturing.”
