TTH to roll out advanced 3D printing technology

Is one of five sites to offer production level Carbon CLIP 3D printing machine.


Streetsboro, Ohio – The Technology House, an integrated prototype and manufacturing firm, is one of just five sites in the country selected to offer the new Carbon CLIP 3D printing machine. TTH has just installed its third production capable additive manufacturing machine from Carbon at the company’s Streetsboro facility, according to company president Chip Gear.
 
“We’ve worked closely with the engineers at Carbon during the past year to pilot its new technology with a variety of design suggestions to improve its performance in the field,” Gear said. “It represents a dramatic improvement for an engineering team and removes a variety of significant barriers product designers used to face, enabling them to design without restrictions of the past.”
 
Continuous liquid interface production (CLIP) technology is an advance in 3D printing capability in speed, quality and materials:
  • It is up to 10 times faster than traditional 3D printers
  • Can produce production-level quality parts similar to injection-molded components, with smoother finishes and greater consistency than previously achieved
  • Allows design engineers to select from a range of polymer materials, providing high elasticity, greater temperature, or strength properties
 
Carbon describes CLIP as a photochemical process that rapidly transforms 3D models into physical objects.
 
“Since we unveiled CLIP early in 2015, the demand for the technology has been immediate and strong throughout a seemingly limitless variety of applications,” said Joseph DeSimone, CEO and co-founder of Carbon. “With its long history in rapid prototyping, TTH has been a tremendous partner for our company in helping to move CLIP from an exciting idea on the drawing table to something that can be a true game-changer for designers and manufacturers.”
