Secondly, this system features industry-standard valves, switches, and gauges all within a portable learning system that can be placed on a conference room table, shop floor desk, or practically anywhere when training space is limited.
Amatrol’s Residential Mini-Split Heat Pump Learning System (T7130) teaches the critical hands-on skills HVACR technicians need to succeed when working with residential ductless (“mini-split”) HVAC systems. Learners will work with real equipment, such as: a heat pump condenser, evaporator unit, thermostat, panel-mounted gauges, and condensate pump.
In addition to developing hands-on skills with real equipment, learners will use Amatrol’s interactive multimedia eLearning curriculum to cover a wide variety of fundamental residential mini-split system topics, including: remote controller adjustments, heating and cooling modes, LED indicators, communication between units, and system troubleshooting.
Caracol was born from the idea of pushing the limits of AM, beyond what was possible.
That idea was brought to life by evolving the possibilities of Additive Manufacturing on scale, shape, and materials with HERON AM.
HERON AM is Caracol's Large-Format Additive Manufacturing system: a robotized extrusion head, with direct and continuous feeding of composites and polymers, a dedicated software platform for the most complex tool paths, and many more features to fully integrate all that is needed to manufacture advanced industrial parts.
The solution is one of the leading LFAM systems in the world, and the only one that is offered as a turnkey solution to maximize flexibility, process control, and performance for clients who want to manufacture parts on-demand and in-situ.
Caracol keeps pushing LFAM ahead expanding its solutions on metals.
The beauty of additive manufacturing is flexibility these technologies provide in terms of scale, shape and materials.
Starting from the expertise Caracol developed in advanced robotics programming, computational design, slicing, and path planning, they are leveraging these skills and applying them to a completely different process and material: DED, and specifically wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM).
Together with leading research centers and players in the most advanced manufacturing sectors, we have been working on several research projects, with the aim of using this technology to produce large, finished parts with metals for sectors such as aerospace, railways and energy.
WSU Enhances AM Learning with Stratasys F370®CR Composite 3D Printer
About Weber State University
The Advanced Research and Solutions Center at Weber State University is an innovation and collaboration area for local industry, primarily in the aerospace, defense, and advanced materials sectors. In addition, the center provides access to R&D resources that include additive manufacturing while offering educational and practical opportunities for students.
The Challenge
Providing students and local industry with the best opportunities for success requires access to current and emerging technologies, including additive manufacturing. However, existing WSU additive capabilities relied on older 3D printers, which were slow and costly to operate, with few material options. This situation limited WSU's Advanced Research and Solution Center's ability to meet student and local industry needs.
The Solution: Composite 3D Printing
To strengthen its 3D printing capabilities, the university added a Stratasys F370®CR composite 3D printer to complement its manufacturing and fabrication equipment.
The F370CR operates with two composite materials and several other engineering-grade thermoplastics. The composite 3D printing materials include FDM® Nylon-CF10 and ABS-CF10, which incorporate 10% chopped carbon fiber for added strength and rigidity.
Composite 3D Printing at Weber State University
Adding the F370CR printer gives WSU the capabilities of a current-technology 3D printer with more material options, including advanced composite polymers. The F370CR 3D printer’s ease of use and consistent printing performance gives users a faster, more reliable means of developing 3D printed solutions.
Ultimately helping WSU achieve the facility’s goal of providing innovative and leading-edge tools for its current and future students and customers.

Machine Tending Educational Cell integrated with a FANUC Robot and Robodrill together. This cell comes standard with 3-axis milling, air blow-off for chip removal, a fenceless perimeter with safety area scan, and your choice of a Robot or Cobot as the machine tender.
The groundbreaking Skill Boss Logistics trainer just got even more advanced – the Smart Robot Logistics Palletizing Workcell takes what was great about the system and adds another layer of skills crucial to working in a modern, automated logistics environment.
In this video, Amatrol's Director of North American Industry Sales, Mark Goodman, gives an overview of the palletizer system and what it adds to Skill Boss Logistics.
Students can learn how to operate, program, maintain, and troubleshoot a robotic palletizing workcell. They’ll also learn how to power-up and jog an industrial robot workcell using an HMI, operate it both manually and automatically, enter and interpret commands, configure robot vision settings, track robot performance, and ensure safety devices are functioning correctly. It's also possible to add the Mobile Robot Logistics System for even more functionality!
Amatrol's 87-SWPF1V Smart Robot Logistics Palletizing Workcell teaches trainees how to operate, program, maintain, and troubleshoot a robotic palletizing workcell. Students will gain hands-on practice on how to power up and jog an industrial robot workcell using an HMI, operate the workcell both manually and automatically, enter and interpret commands, configure robot vision settings, track robot performance, and ensure safety devices are functioning correctly.
