Carbon 3D, a Silicon Valley Startup, announced a new type of 3D printing called Continuous Liquid Interface Production Technology (CLIP). The process allows for the continuous generation of polymeric parts up to tens of centimeters in size with feature resolution below 100 micrometers. For the past 25 years, 3D printing has working by building objects layer by layer. By contrast, CLIP technology objects just rise continuously from a liquid media.

The CLIP method was co-invented by the CEO of Carbon 3D, Joseph M. DeSimone, a chemistry professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, along with colleagues Alex Ermoshkin, CTO of Carbon 3D and Edward T. Samulski, who is also a professor of chemistry at UNC.
