High-Speed CLIP Printing

    Arrow  back3-D Printing Carbon

Google last year invested $100 million in Carbon to commercialize its high-speed CLIP (Continuous Liquid Interface Production) process, which uses ultra high-performance urethanes.

The technology was actually inspired by the movie Terminator 2 and the way the next generation T-1000 robot assassin rises out of a puddle of material. CLIP promises printing speeds 25 to 100 times faster than conventional 3-D printers.

Johnson and Johnson has already forged a medical device partnership with the company, which unveiled its first commercially available CLIP printer, the M1, in April.
