NUBURU, a seller of 3D printers and related products, announced that it has delivered multiple 3D printer units to additive manufacturing solutions provider Essentium.

Essentium has started to integrate NUBURU’s proprietary blue laser technology with its High Speed Extrusion (HSETM) 3D-printing technology to offer additive manufacturing services with improved part quality and scaled use in industries like automotive, aerospace, and defense. 

NUBURU plans to deliver more units to Essentium through 2023 and Essentium plans to expand its operations across new applications and markets using the technology.

Analyst QuickTake: NUBURU and Essentium first partnered in May 2022 to develop a new blue laser-based metal 3D-printing technology. The deliveries announced represent the initial implementation of this agreement. On a separate note, NUBURU also partnered with US government agencies, including the US Department of Defense and the US Air Force to utilize blue laser technology.
