Carbon 3D, Company Founded by UNC Chemist, Gains Google’s $100M Backing

Posted Sep 4, 2015
Is Carbon3D the next step in 3-D printing? Google seems to think so. Google Ventures led a $100 million round in the San Francisco-based company, which has developed a method of “printing” objects from a liquid resin that it says is based on a character from the Terminator movie series. The company was founded in 2013 in Chapel Hill, NC, by Joseph DeSimone, a chemist at the University of North Carolina. (Xconomy)
