About CARVELAB

CARVELAB developed a hybrid manufacturing robotic platform with 6+ axes that integrates subtractive CNC milling, additive extrusion of reinforced polymers, and 3D metrology scanning in a single modular system, with automatic tool change and a Scan-to-CAD-to-CAM workflow. Its proprietary software, Procarve, manages scanning, feature design and machine-code generation in one environment, with AI algorithms for adaptive toolpaths that optimize material and trajectories. Composite engineering capabilities include 3D-printed structural cores ready for bonding with carbon/glass fiber skins, reducing weight by 40% compared with solid laminates versus traditional manual layup, plus motion capture for part/robot alignment and real-time digital-twin monitoring.
