Rethink Foam

Rethink Foam

The Carbon DLS process enables the production of lattice geometries with functional elastomeric materials, opening up a wide range of product possibilities.

Develop Game Changing Products

Work with Carbon & our Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) high-speed 3D printing technology to replace your premium foam components with digitally enhanced 3D printed components.

DLS prints highly tailored parts in our proprietary materials by utilizing our Design Engine Pro lattice generation software to create a number of different “zones” of the part which are individually designed for a specific compression profile and aesthetic, resulting in various aspects of product differentiation such as improved airflow, protection, and comfortability. This combination of technologies enables DLS to produce parts that are superior to any other traditional or digital foam. Below find case studies that highlight the success, triumphs, and awards our customers have received by introducing DLS into their products.

Work with Carbon, Inc. on your Next Generation Product

At Carbon we know the difficulty of properly leveraging a new technology like 3D printing to create serial production products. We’ve internally developed ourselves to help guide OEMs and Contract Manufacturers through the process of pre-production to scale with DLS. When working on DLS components for your products expect to engage with our representatives in the product development process below.
