Carbon introduces new post-processing technology at Formnext 2025 to boost efficiency and enable high-throughput part production.

Carbon plans to launch new technology at Formnext 2025 designed to streamline the entire workflow into a single step.

Digital manufacturing platform Carbon announced that it will unveil its latest additive manufacturing post-processing technology at this year's Formnext exhibition. The new generation of innovative solutions is specifically designed to enhance production efficiency, significantly streamlining workflows, reducing manual labor and solvent usage, while markedly shortening post-processing time. This enables high-precision cleaning and high-throughput production of end-use parts.

As a leading innovator in advanced elastomer production, Carbon will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of materials and application solutions for both consumer and industrial-grade 3D printing during the exhibition. The company's extensive range of innovative materials is already widely adopted by global top-tier brands in footwear, bicycles, sports helmets, and other fields, delivering breakthrough comfort and performance enhancements to end products. Concurrently, its engineering-grade materials are utilized in high-standard industries such as medical technology and automotive manufacturing to produce high-performance components, helping customers achieve exceptional product value.

Kristi Smith, Carbon's Vice President of Global Design to Production, stated: "Streamlined workflows are crucial for unlocking scalability, making 3D printing more viable and easily adaptable to entirely new product categories and industries. We take pride in delivering hardware and material solutions that elevate our customers' production experience."

3D-Printed Equipment: From Competition Venues to Production Lines

Carbon continuously drives innovation forward, as evidenced by its recent impact and success in professional sports. The company reports that seven of the top ten finishers in this year's Tour de France (including the champion) crossed the finish line using carbon fiber saddles. Additionally, six of the top eight rated football helmets in the U.S. professional league this season incorporated Carbon's technology to enhance on-field player protection.
