This Company Does 3D Printing at a Speed No One Else Can Match

Carbon has collected $140 million in three years to develop its superfast $40,000-a-year 3D printer.

This is Carbon, the first company in the $4 billion 3D-printing industry to offer a serious–and seriously fast–alternative to conventional injection molds. Using new materials, hardware, and software, Carbon’s printer, the M1, fires UV light at its syrupy resins to produce prototypes and production parts that can be more bouncy, stiff, tough, or heat-resistant than rival products, printing at speeds competitors can’t match. Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Joseph DeSimone gets a little flowery when the knees come out. "We don’t print," he says. "We grow."
