Factors of cost, quality, function and material requirements help narrow the field. Phil Hutchinson | element14 community The 3D printing process offers electronic engineers a great way to speed up innovation. Early adopters such as the aerospace and defense industries have long used 3D printing for rapid concept modeling, component prototyping and the production of…
Carbon introduces lower prices on its 3D printing materials
The cost of 3D printing materials is viewed as one of the inhibitors to wider adoption and usage of additive manufacturing. Carbon, a Silicon Valley-based 3D manufacturing company, is introducing an approach that CEO and Co-founder Dr. Joseph M. DeSimone says will lower the price of some of its 3D printing materials bought in bulk […]
Using 3D printing instead of injection molding for fluid manifolds
The debate on whether to use injection molding or additive manufacturing for certain parts tends to support injection molding as the best answer. But with newer additive technologies, the case for using additive is getting stronger. Carbon’s CLIP technology, for example, can compete with injection molding in many applications. One example involves fluid manifolds, which […]
New resins for Carbon’s CLIP 3D printing process
Carbon, the developers of Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) and Two-Stage Cure, announces the addition of three new engineering resins to the CLIP platform. The EPX 81 resin is part of the company’s new Epoxy material family. EPX 81 was designed in collaboration with customers for high precision industrial applications like electrical connectors. An accurate […]
More funding for Carbon, and GE, JSR, BMW among new strategic investors
Carbon (Carbon 3D Inc.) announced new funding from strategic investors, which will aid in the goal of bringing additive technology to more customers moving from prototyping-only to applications requiring final production quality parts. Carbon also plans to offer its proprietary CLIP technology internationally and is accelerating production to meet worldwide demand for its M1 printer. […]
