Ellen Kullman, who headed US chemical conglomerate DuPont from 2009 to 2015, has been appointed president and CEO of Carbon, a Redwood City, California-based 3D printing specialist for polymers.

The former DuPont chief, who has served on Carbon’s board since 2016 and will retain that position, takes over from the six-year-old company’s co-founder and CEO Joseph DeSimone. In future, he will be executive chairman.

Kullman’s role will be to develop short- and long-term strategies for the company’s growth, with plans for its digital manufacturing platform to become more widely adopted.
