Dinsmore Adds L1 to its Existing Fleet of Carbon 3D Printers

Carbon, the leading 3D printing technology company, announced that Dinsmore Inc., a member of the Carbon Production Network, will add the L1 Printer to its fleet of Carbon 3D printers. Dinsmore is building a new lab that will contain the current Carbon fleet of M2 Printers as well as the new L1 Printer. Using the Carbon DLS process, the Carbon L1 Printer enhances Dinsmore's large-part and production capability.

“Since we started partnering with Carbon in 2016, our partnership has evolved enormously. It has been an incredible relationship that has resulted in better products reaching the market in less time,” said Jay Dinsmore, CEO of Dinsmore. “With this installation, we will be able to expand our services by - throughput and moving faster. We're remodeling our laboratories, and as Carbon's first West Coast partner to install an L1 Printer, we'll be able to highlight it as a key feature of innovation. We've already found relevant applications, so we'll be printing on the first day.”

The L1 Printer is a large-format printer that uses the Carbon DLS process, enabling companies to prototype and manufacture larger parts while simultaneously achieving new economies of scale when manufacturing smaller parts. The L1 Printer has proved dependability in challenging manufacturing conditions, where it is used to manufacture products such as the Adidas 4D midsole, CCM Super Tacks X helmets, and clear aligner models.

The L1 Printer is a dependable printing platform that brings 3D printed manufacturing parts to life with the following features:

• Economies of Scale: With the largest build volume of a Carbon printer, the L1 enables design engineers and manufacturers to produce larger or smaller parts at a cheaper price. Applications printed on the L1 Printer have resulted in cost savings ranging from 15% to 50%.

• A Single Platform for Prototyping and Production: By prototyping and manufacturing components on the same machine, innovative products can be brought to market quicker. The capacity to manufacture end-use parts with high precision and unmatched print speed improve time-to-market.

• Continuous Software Updates: As part of the subscription, Carbon provides ongoing software updates that add new features, new material choices, and increase printer efficiency over time.

“The strategic partnership we've established with Dinsmore has helped clients who have found new ways to develop ideas that they couldn't bring to market using conventional methods,” said Ellen Kullman, President, and CEO of Carbon. “This extension of our collaboration is yet another milestone in assisting companies in bringing quality products to market in less time.”
