Carbon introduces CLIP printing technology at TED
The company emerged from stealth with a continuous resin-printing process controlled by ultraviolet light and oxygen.
Evidence notes
- An oxygen-permeable window maintains a thin uncured layer beneath the growing part.
- Projected cross-sections define the object as it rises continuously from the resin.
- The technical method was introduced simultaneously in the journal Science.
Company overview
Carbon develops Digital Light Synthesis printers, software and polymer materials for industrial, consumer and dental manufacturing. It offers printer subscriptions and outsourced part production; Cornell researchers have used its materials for robot components and compliant mechanisms.
