Successful Demonstration of Blue Laser-Based Area Printing Marks Milestone to Develop Scalable 3D Printing Manufacturing Systems
This first-ever demonstration of using a blue laser beam shaped with a digital micromirror device (“DMD”) to print a part in stainless steel marks a milestone in the development of a 3D printing light engine for incorporation into large scale additive manufacturing systems. NUBURU and GE Additive also signed a joint development agreement in June of 2023 to accelerate the development of print engine technology that may result in improved speed and accuracy for laser-based additive manufacturing.
Brian Knaley, CEO of NUBURU commented: “We are excited to announce that we have successfully demonstrated the ability to print in metal with a scalable blue laser DMD architecture that will allow much faster printing speeds, as well as lower defect density than today’s 3D metal printers. Achieving this milestone is critical to accelerate the implementation of blue laser technology into large scale additive manufacturing systems for defense, aerospace and several other critical markets.”
About NUBURU
Founded in 2015, NUBURU, Inc. (NYSEAM: BURU) is a developer and manufacturer of industrial blue lasers that leverage fundamental physics and their high-brightness, high-power design to produce faster, higher quality welds and parts than current lasers can provide in laser welding and additive manufacturing of copper, gold, aluminum and other industrially important metals. NUBURU’s industrial blue lasers produce minimal to defect-free welds that are up to eight times faster than the traditional approaches — all with the flexibility inherent to laser processing.
