Autodesk provided the $10m for the round from its $100m Spark Investment Fund, and Carbon3D plans to deploy its 3D printing technology in the next year.

US-based 3D printing company Carbon3D has received $10m in series A funding from architecture software developer Autodesk’s $100m initiative Spark Investment Fund.

Founded in 2013, Carbon3D offers technology that aims to overcome the current limitations of speed, mechanical properties and materials in 3D printing. The technology, dubbed Continuous Liquid Interface Production (Clip), enables manufacturing at commercial quality beyond basic prototyping.

Clip is reportedly able to produce 3D printed objects up to 100 times faster than traditional technology, and Carbon3D aims…
