Carbon Announces Four New Service Bureau Customers -- Expanding Access to CLIP Technology
CIDEAS, Sculpteo, The Technology House and WestStar Precision Offer Carbon's CLIP Technology as Part of Their Additive Manufacturing Services
(firmenpresse) - REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/01/16 -- (Carbon3D, Inc) today announced the addition of leading 3D printing service bureaus and contract manufacturers to its early customer program. , , and now offer access to Carbon''s Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology. CLIP will enable product designers and engineers to produce polymeric parts that have the resolution, surface finish and mechanical properties required for both functional prototyping and production parts for industries as varied as automotive, medical and consumer electronics.
"These new customers are key drivers of innovation and production across industries," said Joseph DeSimone, CEO and Co-Founder of Carbon. "We''re excited to partner with them and offer expanded access to CLIP to further uncover application opportunities for our technology."
"Carbon''s range of engineering grade materials are a game-changer in advancing what is possible with additive manufacturing," said Mike Littrell, President of CIDEAS. "We pride ourselves on partnering with our customers to solve unique challenges and the CLIP-based machine is a powerful tool that helps us create production-quality parts, shorten product development timelines and bring new design concepts to life."
CLIP uses a tunable photochemical process to rapidly transform 3D models into physical objects. The process works by projecting a continuous sequence of UV images through an oxygen-permeable, UV-transparent window below a liquid resin. The dead zone created above the window maintains a liquid interface while the part advances above. CLIP leverages a range of materials which were designed to meet common engineering requirements -- from the elongation and resilience expected of an injection molded polyurethane elastomer to the temperature resistance of a glass-filled Nylon, and many more.
Since unveiling CLIP in , Carbon has set forth a bold vision to accelerate the future of manufacturing by introducing the world to the possibilities of a future fabricated with light.
The first service bureau to join Carbon''s early customer program, CIDEAS (), founded in 1998, is a full-service, Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D Printing Center. Utilizing over 30 in-house machines, CIDEAS capabilities include: CLIP (New for 2016), Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), PolyJet, Urethane Casting, and Part Finishing. Within the last 18 years, CIDEAS has become one of the most advanced 3D Print centers in the United States. For more information please visit

WestStar Precision serves customers in aerospace, medical, biotech and alternative energy sectors with high tech manufacturing of products. The company has developed best practice standards in the area of precision machining and assembly of metal and plastic components built to customer specification around the world. Carbon''s CLIP technology is the company''s first foray into 3D printing. WestStar has been watching the market for years but was never convinced to enter, because of the slow speed, high cost and limited mechanical properties available from other technology.
