Carbon Scales Production 3D Models Using AWS GPU Instances

Industries Blog



The article discusses how Carbon, a digital manufacturing platform, scales production of 3D models for clear aligners (dental braces) using AWS GPU instances. It highlights Carbon's innovative approach to optimize the manufacturing process through efficient hollowing of 3D models.

Specifically, the article covers:

  • Business problem: Manufacturing large volumes of disposable 3D models for clear aligners
  • Technical challenges: Ensuring cleanability (removing uncured resin) and accuracy of hollowed models
  • Carbon's solution: Voxel-based hollowing with channels for resin removal and precise geometry
  • Architecture on AWS: Microservices on EKS, RDS, S3, leveraging EC2 G5 GPU instances for scalability
  • Future plans: Adopting Amazon Karpenter for improved auto-scaling and exploring additional AWS services
