"By expanding our software capabilities that are optimized for AM, we are empowering a generation of designers and developers to create better end use products with advanced geometries and improved performance characteristics."

Says Robert Yusin, ParaMatters chairman and CEO: "The ParaMatters team is proud of the software design tools we've built to advance AM. The ability to expand our offering as a part of Carbon's idea-to-production platform will enable our customers to design and produce better products. As one team, we intend to move the manufacturing industry beyond its current roadblocks.”
