January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Carbon, a product development and manufacturing technology company, has launched its EPU Pro platform. Debuting at Formnext, this new elastomer family joins Carbon's material portfolio as a dual-cure resin that comes in a single container.
When used in tandem with Carbon Design Engine, customers can tune their product for performance, with multizonal lattices, generating mechanical responses precisely. Additionally, with Carbon Custom Production Software, users can enable mass customization at scale.
"The EPU Pro platform offers mechanical properties and novel haptics that are suitable for a wide variety of high-performance applications, custom colors, and tunable material stiffnesses," says Jason Rolland, senior vice president of Materials at Carbon.
The EPU Pro platform will extend Carbon's range of elastomeric offerings, and can also incorporate foaming agents to introduce haptics, creating a suede-like touch. The material's enhanced properties enable greater design freedom for curvatures and delicate structures.
EPU Pro builds upon Carbon's portfolio of premium elastomers, including energy-damping EPU 45 and energy-returning bio-derived EPU 46. Carbon tests these materials to improve their ability to meet the material performance needed to mass produce across multiple high-performance applications, the company reports.
Carbon's recent launch of Custom Production Software enables automated design and project preparation for customized or personalized products at scale. This technology, coupled with Carbon's Design Engine and Lattice Search tool, is intended to help designers create more precisely tuned, high-performance products with multi-zonal lattices in varying densities.
