ABOUT US

NUBURU^® is leading the transformation to a world of high-speed, high quality metal machining and processing. NUBURU ground-breaking blue laser technology has defined a new class of high-power, high-performance blue lasers, starting with the standard AO laser and the high-brightness BL™ series lasers, which each enable radical gains in speed and quality for metal processing.

NUBURU lasers unlock a path to new designs for both conventional laser-metal machining and additive manufacturing (3D printing). Copper welding was the first application to benefit from the unique capabilities of the blue laser, with rapid processing and spatter-free welding that enables many new applications not possible with infrared lasers.
