CLIP technology reportedly opens up new materials possibilities -- meaning Carbon3D is aiming to create new 3D-printable polymers using CLIP.

Additionally, CLIP can produce objects that have a smoother surface finish than conventionally 3D-printed parts and a structural consistency on par with injection-molded ones, according to Carbon3D.

Continuous Liquid Interface Production is the next generation of 3D printing, and is equal parts SciFi and magic.
