About
Joseph M. DeSimone co-founded Carbon in 2013 and led the company as CEO from 2014 until November 2019, when he transitioned to Executive Chairman. A chemist by training, he is best known for inventing Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP), the photochemical 3D-printing process unveiled at TED 2015 and on the cover of Science magazine that prints objects 25 to 100 times faster than conventional resin printers. Before Carbon he spent decades on the chemistry faculty at UNC Chapel Hill and NC State, founding multiple companies and pioneering work in CO2-based polymer chemistry. He is now a professor at Stanford and continues to invent at the intersection of polymer science and additive manufacturing, including microneedle drug-delivery patches.
