Carbon Powers Next-Gen 3D Printing Software With Cloud-based Computation AM Software

by Design

Carbon is introducing a new version of its next-gen 3D printing software that expands its tools to design, engineer and make polymeric parts using Carbon’s Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) technology and resins. With this software release, Carbon offers a variety of tools that enable customers to print parts easily and successfully the first time, optimize supports for material usage, and minimize post-processing. These new software tools are backed by finite element analysis (FEA), a powerful cloud-based computational technique that simulates the forces of DLS.

In an interesting case study, Formlabs reported on how Aaron Sims, founder and president of Aaron Sims Creative (ASC), an up-and-coming visual effects (VFX) and design studio in Burbank (alongside large, established companies like Weta and ILM) use a Form2 3D printer to bring to life the monster in season one of hit TV series Stranger Things. Apparently he is not the only one 3D printing a demogorgon.. or a demodog.
