To enhance North American manufacturing capabilities.
SyBridge Technologies announced the significant expansion of its partnership with Carbon, Inc., a pioneering 3D printing company known for its Digital Light Synthesis technology.
As the first phase of this investment, SyBridge is more than doubling its dedicated manufacturing space at its Chicago-area headquarters, with a focus on DLS capacity expansion. This strategic collaboration underscores SyBridge’s commitment to investing in cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities and its dedication to scaling operations to meet increasing demand and support North American customer reshoring initiatives.
Carbon’s Preferred North American Partner
This plant expansion also marks a milestone in the growing partnership between SyBridge Technologies and Carbon, strengthening their commitment to scaling additive manufacturing in North America. Since partnering eight years ago, SyBridge has printed almost 2 million DLS parts, demonstrating extensive experience and reliability.
The DLS Manufacturing Advantage
Carbon’s DLS technology delivers significant advantages over traditional manufacturing methods:
- Engineering-Grade Materials: Carbon’s materials portfolio delivers predictable mechanical responses for end-use parts.
- Enhanced Design Freedom: The technology enables complex geometries that could not be made with other forms of manufacturing and excels in flexible lattices for foam replacement applications.
- Accuracy and Repeatability: The Carbon DLS process offers excellent accuracy and repeatability, within tolerances as tight as +/-40 μm.
- Consumer-Grade Production: The Carbon platform enables end-use consumer products that offer comfort, performance, and protection benefits with extensive color capabilities and options for customization.
- Cost-Effective Scaling: SyBridge’s lean manufacturing approach makes high-volume DLS production economically viable.
