3D printing company Carbon is producing dental models and surgical guides for dentists and 3D printing sneakers for Adidas. The company will further leverage innovative 3D manufacturing methods to collaborate with medical technology and biopharmaceutical companies to develop a variety of medical devices, including pediatric tracheal stents, tuberculosis diagnostic tests, and pancreatic cancer drug delivery tools.
According to reports, Carbon CEO Joe DeSimone spoke about Carbon's medical technology manufacturing business during his interview at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in early January.
DeSimone said that the company received $200 million in investment from Johnson & Johnson InnovaTIon in December 2017. The two companies will collaborate to develop orthopaedic tools, and J&J is using Carbon's 3D printer to disrupt the supply chain with one-off devices.
Carbon's 3D printers rely on Digital Light Synthesis and programmable liquid resin technology. The goal is to find the right balance between sturdy and flexible products that are faster than the current 3D printing process.
Carbon provides equipment to subscription services for companies, including software tools, training, design services, and custom data and analysis. The idea is to speed up the manufacturing process and give companies greater product development flexibility. DeSimone said that once the company is digital, it can't go back, the difference is comparable to mimeographs and laser printers.
Carbon entered the dental industry in 2017 and worked with Core3dcentres to produce dental models and surgical guidelines with low regulatory burdens that dentists can use to develop custom dentures. In the orthopedics industry, Carbon is working with the Spanish company Xkelet to produce custom splints that make patients more comfortable and more flexible.
Pediatric medical equipment is another area of ​​interest to Carbon. Due to the small size of the pediatric market and the need for simple adjustments to various sizes, it is often overlooked by medical device companies. But 3D printing can tailor the device to the needs of growing children.
Carbon collaborated with Children's Minnesota Hospital to print airway stents in 3D and will test them in preclinical studies. These stents will be used to treat bronchomalacia and can be tailored to the thickness, length and diameter of the child's airway.
In addition, Carbon has also entered the diagnostic arena, working with Global Good Fund, which is jointly invested by Intellectual Ventures and Bill Gates, to develop humanitarian impact technologies to provide tuberculosis analysis to developing countries without the need to diagnose associated traditional production costs.
Although Carbon has worked with global companies, DeSimone emphasizes that its business also applies to startups. For example, Carbon has developed an implant for this therapy in collaboration with Advanced Chemotherapy Technologies to develop pancreatic cancer therapies using iontophoresis. In addition, Carbon also works with AnelleO to produce the intravaginal ring to deliver progesterone for infertility.
The Digit LED Display is one type of display screen. By inputting relative current to its different pins, it will light up, so as to display all the parameters that can be represented by numbers, such as time, date, temperature, etc.
Because of its low price and simple use, it is widely used in electrical appliances, especially in the field of household appliances, such as air conditioners, water heaters, refrigerators, etc. Most water heaters use Digit LED Display, and other household appliances also use LCD and fluorescent screens.
