ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SHOP
As the first Carbon Global Design Partner, we have been at the forefront leveraging these digital tools for design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) since 2017.
Harness our team’s expertise to take advantage of Carbon digital printing technology for your prototype and production needs.
Our additive manufacturing shop utilizes three Carbon M2 printers, one new M3 Max, a Smart Part Washer, and Carbon’s Design Engine.
Carbon M2 Printer
The Carbon M2 Printers are well suited for a wide range of applications. They offer speed, accuracy, and a medium-built platform size. They feature high-resolution printing, which is perfect for smaller parts with intricate features such as threading or internal channels.
Go from prototype to production on the same machine with no minimum volumes.
Carbon M3 Max
The M3 Max printer offers the benefits of next-gen DLS printing with a true 4K light engine, enabling double the build area with the same pixel size and density.
The M3 has a 2.5x higher throughput than our M2s, thanks to improved heat management. It can also handle a larger build volume with over twice the area of the M2s. This enables us to print larger geometries and consolidate parts while using the same resolution.
Carbon Printer Build Volume
M2 Printer | M3 Max Printer | |
x | 189 mm (7.4") | 307 mm (12.1") |
y | 118 mm (4.6") | 163 mm (6.4") |
z | 326 mm (12.8") | 305 mm (12") |
Carbon Smart Part Washer
The Smart Part Washer automates the part cleaning process, giving a consistent, predictable, and thorough cleaning of your prints while reducing labor time per printed part.
Carbon Design Engine
The Carbon Design Engine Pro is a powerful cloud-based computation software that empowers our designers to create precisely tuned, high-performance products.
The software reduces the need for the tedious, manual editing of struts or structures post-generate. It automatically resolves lattice features, both large and small, while robustly transitioning between different zones inside the same part for tunable performance.
Resin Choices
You can produce engineering-grade parts with predictable mechanical responses, enabling you to seamlessly transition from design to functional prototyping and end-use production, all on the same platform with Carbon DLS™.
Materials come in both rigid and elastomeric forms that are comparable to common thermoplastics.
