About
Carbon is an advanced manufacturing company that pioneered Digital Light Synthesis (DLS), a continuous 3D printing process that produces parts with mechanical properties comparable to injection-molded components at production scale. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Joseph DeSimone and colleagues from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Carbon's technology unlocks the use of additive manufacturing for end-use production parts rather than merely prototypes. Its platform integrates hardware (printers), software (Design Engine and cloud management), and an expanding library of engineering-grade resins.
