Lasers4NetZero and NUBURU collaborate on industrial lasers for sustainable technology
NUBURU Inc of Centennial, CO, USA — which was founded in 2015 and develops and manufactures high-power industrial blue lasers — has announced a strategic collaboration with Lasers4NetZero, an initiative dedicated to advancing sustainable practices.
Lasers4NetZero has entered into the partnership with NUBURU for the implementation of their 42-month program, the Project Advisory Group of Lasers for Accelerated Net-zero Transition. The partnership signifies a step towards accelerating the adoption of environmentally conscious technologies.
The training program initiated by Lasers4NetZero aims to cultivate a new generation of forward-thinking doctoral candidates specializing in laser material processing, artificial intelligence for quality control, advanced process simulation, and sustainability analysis for e-vehicle manufacturing. NUBURU’s provision of blue lasers at the WMG facility at the UK’s University of Warwick underscores their commitment to driving technological innovation and sustainability in key industries.
“Our collaboration with Lasers4NetZero represents a strategic alignment of our shared vision for sustainable technology advancements,” says NUBURU’s CEO Brian Knaley. “Building upon our prior success with WMG and the upcoming partnership, we are poised to make significant strides in advancing laser technology for EV [electric vehicle] applications,” he adds.
Acknowledging the pivotal role of artificial intelligence in driving industry transformation, NUBURU believes that they will be able to leverage insights from their recent AI partnership with NexGenAI to enhance their contributions to this venture.
The Lasers4NetZero initiative has a mission to address the need for reduced CO2 emissions in the transportation sector. By leveraging advanced laser technologies and scanning optics, the program aims to enhance efficiency, material utilization and overall product quality, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions in e-vehicle manufacturing.
