L1 3D Printer

The L1 Printer

Consistent high-volume production and larger parts

The L1 printer is a proven tool for product designers, engineers, and manufacturers who need to consistently produce large parts or many smaller parts. Offering over 1,000 cm² of build area, the L1 printer produces large parts in single prints, or many small parts for high-throughput production.

• Accelerate time-to-market: Produce functional prototypes quickly, then move to high-volume production on the same system.
• Proven with millions of parts: The L1 is making history in additive manufacturing, scaling production to the millions of parts for companies like adidas, Specialized, and Riddell. Additionally, dental labs are utilizing the L1 printer to quickly ramp up clear-aligner model production.

Excellent Real-World Performance with Every Part

The L1 Printer is a consistent, reliable printing platform that brings 3D printed production parts to life.

Cutting-Edge Design Powered by Advanced Software

• Use Familiar Tools: Carbon 3D printers support STL files. Use standard CAD tools to generate your design, then upload your STL into Carbon's print planning tool.
• Lattice Design: Carbon's Design Engine software helps customers generate the perfect lattice to fit desired form, mechanical response, and durability requirements.
• Surface Textures: There's no need for a complicated pipeline of third-party tools. Add branded, aesthetic, or functional textures to your parts, all from within Carbon software.

Save Time and Improve Quality with Automated Print Preparation

• Auto Layout: Save time when preparing builds with multiple parts by using Carbon's auto layout feature.
• Advanced Auto Supports: Advanced auto supports save time and ensure high-quality results by offering a reliable, FEA-backed strategy for supporting parts during printing.

Boost Efficiency with Print Analytics

• Manufacture at Scale: Because every machine is connected, Carbon's entire workflow can be logged, monitored, and reviewed through tools and dashboards that offer deep insights into fleet performance and utilization.
• Fleet Management Dashboard: Review production data and manage a fleet of devices in real-time from one dashboard. Queue new projects seamlessly.
• Part Traceability: Preserve a part's entire history—from CAD file, to design, to print—in one digital record. Streamline quality assurance with embedded unique part identifiers to quickly review a part's history.

Better Operations with Connected Hardware

• Over-the-Air Software Updates: Carbon's 3D printers constantly get better, even after they're installed. Regular software updates improve every aspect of the Carbon DLS™ process, offering improved user experience, faster and more accurate prints, and more sophisticated process management.
• Real-time Status and Control: Monitor and manage printer and parts at every stage of the printing process wherever you are, regardless of whether you have one or hundreds of Carbon 3D printers.
• Accelerated Customer Support: Carbon's customer support team can identify and troubleshoot printer issues remotely without interrupting business operations. Data-backed predictive maintenance through real-time alerts inform customers about issues that might impact production.
