Dr. Nick Carmean, 1X Technologies

Seminar Title: Light, Oxygen, and Heat: Additive Manufacturing with CLIP and Dual-Cure Chemistry

Nick Carmean is a materials scientist and synthetic polymer chemist specializing in the development of novel approaches for advanced manufacturing methods. He is currently a Senior Staff Research Scientist at 1X Technologies, where he focuses on developing materials and manufacturing strategies to enable next-generation humanoid robotics platforms.
 

Previously, Dr. Carmean was at Carbon, where he led the design of high-performance resins and contributed to advances in continuous liquid interface production (CLIP) and related additive manufacturing technologies. His research centers on structure–property relationships in functional polymers, photopolymerization kinetics, and translating polymer chemistry into scalable engineering solutions.

In 2018 Dr. Carmean earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry at the University of Florida with Professor Brent Sumerlin where he studied reversible-deactivation radical photopolymerization mechanisms and light-mediated strategies for end-group modification.
