Silicon Valley startups Carbon3D has developed a new 3D printing technology called CLIP (Continuous Liquid Interface Production). This super high speed printing technology to produce products 25-100 times faster than traditional 3D printing method. Theoretically there are up to 1,000 times the potential and shape can be produced previously unattainable. The technical advantage of ultra-fast print speed and consistent surface roughness optimization and mechanical strength, if this technology commercialize in the near future, not only can accelerate the popularization of 3D printing machine, and also enhance the photo curable technology in 3D printing market share.
