Case Study: Oracle achieves rapid production of 10,000 high‑strength server alignment brackets with Carbon's CLIP and RPU 70

How Oracle printed 10,000 server mounts for an end-use technology application

Oracle, a leader in cloud engineering and enterprise software, needed thousands of small, high-strength board alignment brackets for a high-density server research project but found injection molding too slow and conventional 3D printing materials too weak for production use. To rapidly iterate designs and produce parts at scale, Oracle engaged Carbon and evaluated Carbon’s CLIP technology and materials.

Carbon, working with production partner Sculpteo, used CLIP and RPU 70 (Rigid Polyurethane) to deliver 10,000 durable, repeatable brackets in days rather than the months required by other methods, enabling “print by hour” throughput and the required mechanical performance. The result: production-quality parts that met Oracle’s structural needs, reduced fabrication time and cost, and supported rapid R&D iterations.
