DLS

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.

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.
