Digital Light Synthesis™ (DLS™) is a groundbreaking 3D printing technology that combines digital light projection with oxygen-permeable optics, developed through Carbon’s CLIP™ (Continuous Liquid Interface Production) technology.
Polymer Additive
Digital Light Synthesis™
Exceptional Speed and Mechanical Properties
DLS™ revolutionizes additive manufacturing by producing parts with superior durability, exceptional resolution, and a flawless surface finish. With DLS™, parts can be printed 25–100 times faster than conventional 3D printing methods, making it an ideal choice for projects with tight deadlines or high-quality demands.
Key Benefits:
- Unmatched Speed: Print parts 25–100 times faster than traditional 3D printing methods, ideal for tight deadlines.
- Superior Surface Finish: No layer lines or uneven textures; parts have a smooth, high-quality surface right out of the printer.
- Exceptional Mechanical Properties: Parts produced through DLS exhibit engineering-grade strength and durability.
- High Resolution: Achieve detailed and precise parts with exceptional accuracy.
- Isotropic Performance: Parts maintain consistent mechanical behavior in all directions, unlike traditional layer-based printing.
Applications
Parts printed with DLS™ (Digital Light Synthesis™) are very similar to injection molded parts and are formed using programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.
- Custom medical devices
- Medical grade surgical guides
- Automotive under-the-hood components
- Rapid tooling
- Tear resistant wearables
- Industrial components
- Complex end-use parts
- Higher volume production of small parts
