Don't miss our upcoming Carbon Tech Talk!
Join us to learn more about Carbon and how we're changing the way parts are made, bringing previously impossible designs to the world. We'll serve yummy food and plenty of drinks, and we'll take you behind the scenes of all our exciting tech — especially the software we're building to enable it all!
Carbon was launched in 2015 when our co-founder and CEO, Dr. Joseph DeSimone, unveiled our groundbreaking technology on the TED stage, fusing light and oxygen to rapidly produce products from a pool of resin. Carbon has raised over $400 million from notable investors including Sequoia Capital and Google Ventures.
Carbon is enabling companies like adidas, Ford, Johnson & Johnson and Riddell to create previously un-makeable products, economically and at scale. With Riddell, a partnership we just announced, we're redefining head protection for the NFL with custom, algorithmically-generated lattice designs that replace foam pads in helmets. Each helmet has over 140,000 individual struts that work together to dissipate impact energy. See https://www.carbon3d.com/riddell/.
At Carbon, software drives everything that we do. We build and test all software from the ground up, from firmware to rich browser-based UIs to multiphysics simulations to algorithmic part design. All of our printers are internet-connected, and cloud capabilities extend printer functionality and enable customers to manage their growing fleet.
Please join us on April 4th to hear more about our vision, our technology, our products, and our customers. Meet the software team and learn about the wide range of software challenges ahead for us. Come see for yourself how Carbon is truly making it possible to make the un-makeable!
The Carbon software team will introduce a range of technical challenges, from scalable cloud services, to 3D browser-based UIs, to computational geometry, to multiphysics simulations. You'll hear about some of the problems we've solved and the many interesting and hard problems ahead as Carbon continues to reinvent the way parts are made.
Dr. Joseph M. DeSimone is the CEO and co-founder of Carbon.
Prior to starting Carbon, Joe was the Chancellor's Eminent Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University and of Chemistry at UNC. Joe has published more than 350 scientific articles and has nearly 200 issued patents in his name, with more than 200 patents pending. Further, Joe has mentored and trained 80 Ph.D. students in his career, half of whom are women and other members of underrepresented minority groups in the sciences.
Joe is one of fewer than 20 individuals who have been elected to all three branches of the U.S. National Academies: The National Academy of Medicine (2014), the National Academy of Sciences (2012), and the National Academy of Engineering (2005). He is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2005).
Joe received his B.S. in Chemistry in 1986 from Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA and his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1990 from Virginia Tech.
Dara Treseder is the Chief Marketing Officer at Carbon. She leads marketing, communications, education, and customer experience. She is responsible for building the Carbon brand and driving the company’s growth.
Previously, she was CMO of GE Ventures, GE’s venture capital arm, and GE Business Innovations. Before joining GE, Dara led marketing and growth efforts at Apple and Goldman Sachs.
Dara was awarded B2B Marketer of the Year by The Drum in 2018. Forbes named Dara to its inaugural “CMO Next” list, which identified 50 individuals redefining the CMO’s role and shaping the future of marketing. Dara was named by AdAge as one of 2018’s “Women to Watch.” She was also called one of the “30 Inspirational Women to Watch in Tech” by Inc. magazine in 2017.
Dara serves on the North American board of the Mobile Marketing Association. A champion of public health and women's issues, Dara also serves on the board of directors of the Public Health Institute. She graduated with highest honors in African and African American Studies from Harvard University and holds an MBA from Stanford University.
Carbon's software team brings together engineers from top companies like Tesla, Google, Snap, and great schools including Stanford and MIT.
Carbon’s team spans all levels of experience, from fresh grads to senior architects, across a broad range of disciplines and interests: scalable cloud infrastructure, 3D graphics and computational geometry, firmware, user interfaces, and large-scale physics simulations.
And beyond work, team members have many other passions: puzzles, musical instruments, archery, badminton, cars, flag football, tennis, and camping, just to name a few.
