Overview
Featured Materials
All 3D printed parts are not made equal, and if the clothes make the man, then the material makes the 3D printed part. When 3D printing an object, choosing the correct material for the application is just as critical as choosing the best printing technology.
Carbon®
Produce end-products
Predictable mechanical properties
The Adidas 4D midsole and Riddell Diamond helmet liner have one thing in common: They are the world’s highest-volume 3D printed consumer products. At the heart of these next-gen products lies the innovation that made it possible: Carbon Digital Light Synthesis.
DLS produces consistent and predictable mechanical properties, creating parts that are truly isotropic. Objects printed with Carbon’s technology are on par with injection molded parts.
