REDWOOD CITY, CA, Feb 24, 2026 – Carbon has promoted Jason Rolland, Ph.D., to chief technology officer (CTO). Rolland joined Carbon more than 12 years ago as one of its earliest hires. He has experience bringing new technologies to market in startup environments.
A polymer scientist by training, Rolland earned his Ph.D. in 2005 under Carbon co-founder Joseph DeSimone, Ph.D. During his tenure at Carbon, he built the materials team and co-invented the company’s dual-cure resin platform. He led the launch of multiple resin products that work with Carbon’s hardware and software platforms, expanding additive manufacturing applications.
“I’m humbled and excited to take on this challenge,” said Jason Rolland. “Over the past 12 years, I’ve really grown to love this space and this technology. I think additive manufacturing is critically important to building the next generation of products that impact our society, and I think Carbon is well positioned to lead this effort.”
Prior to Carbon, Rolland was a co-founder of Liquidia. He holds more than 60 U.S. patents, with an additional 45 pending, and has worked in additive manufacturing across scientific and engineering disciplines.
“I couldn’t be more excited about having Jason in this role,” said Phil DeSimone, co-founder and CEO of Carbon. “He has been a prolific innovator and leader since he joined Carbon in the early days and is responsible for many of the company’s largest revenue products. I am excited to have him lead Carbon’s broader product development and R&D organization as we continue to lead the way in additive manufacturing technology and solutions.”
