Carbon Performance was founded on two core principles of constant innovation and environmental sustainability and true to its vision, the company is proud to have pioneered Blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies into its workflow, in order to prevent infringement of its Digital Inventory.
What makes us different in this sea of 3D printing companies and startups? We do not just exhibit at the 3D printing expos around the world, but we have our components packaged and retailed to the general market. With our primary market being Motorsports and premium automotive companies, we are aiming to diversify into graphene, intelligent mobility solutions and finally sustainable energy transportation by 2020.
With the Automotive 3D printing industry to be worth £6.23 billion by the year 2024, we definitely are keeping up with the momentum to dominate the market. Being a partner with Her Majesty’s Government through ‘Northern Powerhouse’, we would like to reiterate our vision to bring advanced manufacturing to the United Kingdom, more specifically north England, putting Yorkshire on the Innovation Map.
