访谈:碳L1 3D打印机技术规格和定价的Joe Desimone

今天的加利福尼亚夹技术公司Carbonhas unveiled a new system: the Carbon L1 printer.

自公司以来公司的第一台新型3D打印机M2于2017年推出, the L1 provides a larger build volume (hence the “L”) and is reportedly “designed specifically for immediate high-volume production.” Simultaneous to the presentation of this machine, the company has also announced leading American football equipment provider里德尔as the L1’s first customer.

3D印刷行业与Carbon的联合创始人兼首席执行官Joe Desimone交谈,以了解有关新的L1,与Riddell的合作伙伴关系以及机器的可用性的更多信息。

L1呈现技术规格和定价

As with all of Carbon’s 3D printers, the L1 works using the company’s trademark Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) and Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology.

In comparison to the M1, Carbon’s first 3D printer, the L1 offers a build area 10 times the size. In comparison to the M2, which has a build area measuring 7.4″ x 4.6″ x 12.8″ (189mm x 118mm x 326mm), the L1 offers 5 times the build area. The exact measurements of the L1 at present remain undisclosed, so it is unclear across which axis, or combination of axes, the volume has been expanded.

Feeding into the machine’s claims of “immediate high-volume production” the Carbon L1 has a ready-made production process following file preparation; 3D printing; part cleaning; baking and quality assurance.

“All the functions mentioned,” adds DeSimone “are [as with the M2] separate and done through the components of速度单元(i.e. Part Washer, etc.).”

Another new feature of the L1 is that products must be validated by Carbon before they are 3D printer to ensure part quality. The company maintains, “L1s are not intended for general purpose printing.”

在可用性方面,desimone评论:“目前,L1可用于有限的客户,”

“Companies that are interested in the L1 should reach out to our sales team for more information about our validation process. If a current customer meets our product validation requirements, they can purchase an L1 subscription.”

不过,他补充说:“我们现在没有分享特定的定价细节。”

与里德尔的碳合作伙伴

里德尔is the first company publicly announced by Carbon to have achieved L1 validation. As such, the company has used the system to 3D print精确拟合linings for its SpeedFlex Precision Diamond helmet.

As with other oft-produced custom fit products, e.g.3D打印的鞋垫and眼镜,SpeedFlex精密钻石头盔的拟合是通过3D扫描确定的。有了这个数据,Riddell能够将足球运动员头部的确切轮廓与定制的3D打印晶格相匹配。

Each lattice, generated by the Carbon Lattice Engine, is made up of over 140,000 individual struts, designed to absorb impact and provide excellent comfort to the wearer. A full lining for the helmet is composed of seven individually 3D printed parts.

As in Carbon’s other lucrative sports与阿迪达斯的合作伙伴关系, the material used for Riddell helmets is a custom-made resin.

Commenting on the partnership, DeSimone tells 3D Printing Industry, “At Carbon, we strongly believe in the power of technology to unlock advanced innovation and solve real problems,”

“今天的揭幕的碳L1打印机——进攻ring a 10x bigger build area than our revolutionary first product, the M1 — is a testament to the continued investments we’re making in our platform, and how critical breakthroughs in software, hardware and materials enable companies like Riddell to make products that were once thought unmakeable,”

“Our partnership with Riddell is about protecting the ones you love through innovation, and the result is the next generation of head protection for athletes.”

Riddell研究和产品开发高级副总裁Thad Ide补充说:“ Riddell以头部保护领导而闻名。我们与硅谷领先的数字制造商Carbon的合作伙伴关系加强了我们致力于为足球运动员提供现场保护的承诺,”

“作为第一个在足球头盔中使用数字制造的人,里德尔通过拥抱有前途的新技术并将我们的创新路线图推进了今天和未来,从而延续了我们的行业领导。”
