NUBURU Partners with CDME at Ohio State University to Showcase the Unique Advantages of Blue Wavelength Lasers in Additive Manufacturing

NUBURU, Inc. (“NUBURU” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: BURU), a leading innovator in high-power and high-brightness industrial blue laser technology, is excited to announce a partnership with the Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME) at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The Company has received a purchase order for its advanced BlueScan solution, which includes a BL-250 laser, scanner, and optics. This cutting-edge technology will be installed within a powder bed fusion system at CDME's state-of-the-art development lab.

The advantages of blue lasers for enhancing additive manufacturing processes with both powder and wire have been well established. With the introduction of the BL Series, beam quality has improved significantly, facilitating seamless integration of the BL laser into powder bed fusion machines. The installation at CDME will enable direct comparisons with existing techniques, driving innovation and efficiency in the additive manufacturing landscape. Additionally, interested third parties can collaborate with CDME to guide this pioneering research.

Brian Knaley, CEO of NUBURU, stated: “CDME recognizes the transformative potential of blue lasers to significantly enhance productivity and quality in powder bed fusion applications. We are honored that CDME, a renowned center of excellence in additive processing, has chosen to integrate our BL products into their technology portfolio. This partnership comes at a time when the global additive manufacturing market size is poised to cross USD 21.58 billion in 2024 and is likely to attain a valuation of USD 110.13 billion by 2033. The additive manufacturing industry is projected to develop at a CAGR of 19.85% from 2024 to 2033, driven by advancements in 3D printing technologies, innovative AM materials, government initiatives, and R&D projects."

John Middendorf, Director of Additive Manufacturing at CDME, added: “We are excited to build upon the work NUBURU has initiated and compare the characteristics of blue lasers against traditional infrared laser approaches. Once installed later this year, the system will be available for contract development, allowing us to explore new material innovations with NUBURU’s advanced blue laser technology.”
