Carbon is reinventing how products are designed, engineered, made & delivered. Carbon’s Digital Manufacturing platform enables repeatable production of end-use parts with industrial grade materials and exceptional surface finish. Whether you’re making one or a million. Making the impossible possible. Carbon is a 3D printing (late stage, series E) startup in Redwood City, Ca. that creates the software, hardware and materials to enable production of groundbreaking parts — parts that can't be made any other way. The best example is Carbon's partnership with Adidas. Adidas had been interested in 3D printing shoes for years but could not find a technology that was good enough. With Carbon, Adidas finally could design and produce a lattice-based midsole that not only performs well but opens the door for a future of personalized shoes, and they're heading toward making millions of them.
