Carbon and DDK establish Asian 3D-printed saddle production partnership
Carbon partnered with DDK as its first saddle-specific contract manufacturer in Asia, combining lattice printing and final saddle assembly in one facility.

Evidence notes
- DDK becomes Carbon’s first Tier 1 supplier dedicated specifically to 3D-printed saddle production.
- The vertically integrated facility brings lattice printing and final saddle assembly under one roof to reduce time to market.
- Carbon said its technology had enabled production of nearly one million 3D-printed saddles while demand continued to exceed existing capacity.
