Carbon 3D
Carbon3D claims that this process has two major advantages over its competitors: speed and fineness. To print the same polyhedron on an SLA, SLS or Polyjet printer (three common, competing 3D printing technologies) would take 11.5, 3.5 or 3 hours, respectively. The Carbon3D's CLIP technology can supposedly produce it in 6.5 minutes.
Furthermore, creating objects by layering resin means that traditionally 3D printed objects are not smooth at a very fine scale. As CLIP can create objects with uniform characteristics, Carbon3D claims that its printer is both smoother and more durable. Users will also be able to print a wide variety of materials with the Carbon3D, such as elastomers for shoes and polymers for car parts.
The only things that Carbon3D hasn't shared yet are a price and release date for its device. Interested consumers can sign up for a mailing list on the website, but beyond that, it's not clear exactly whom the Carbon3D is for, nor when it will arrive. Don't expect it to come cheap, however; if it works as advertised, a faster, more durable product will probably cost more than the existing technology.
