Although digital technologies shape our modern world, the production of polymer products relies largely on age-old molding techniques. A major reason for this is that additive methods have not delivered a meaningful alternative to traditional processes—until now. In this talk, I will describe Carbon Digital Light Synthesis<sup>TM</sup> (DLS) technology, which embodies a convergence of advances in software, hardware, and materials to bring the digital revolution to polymer additive manufacturing.<br/><br/>DLS uses software-controlled chemistry to produce commercial quality parts rapidly and at scale. Layerless parts ‘grow’ continuously from a pool of resin, formed by light. Compatible with a wide range of polymers, Carbon DLS opens major opportunities for innovative—and previously unmakeable—products across industries, as well as valuable opportunities for product light-weighting and de-materialization, accelerated product design cycles, and local-for-local manufacturing.
