Seurat

The global manufacturing sector is highly polluting and overly reliant on fragile, overseas supply chains. While 3D printing promised to localize production, traditional metal additive manufacturing is simply too slow and expensive to compete with conventional mass production. The breakthrough came when founder James DeMuth was working on nuclear fusion lasers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He realized that massive, directed laser power could revolutionize 3D printing. He co-founded Seurat Technologies to commercialize "Area Printing,” a proprietary process using millions of programmable laser points to simultaneously melt metal powder. This process decouples speed and resolution, allowing Seurat to print complex, high-volume metal parts at an industrial scale.

Cubit Capital invested in Seurat Technologies as a means of helping establish advanced manufacturing systems that underpin societal stability for our country. By making high-volume metal 3D printing economically viable, Seurat is effectively reshoring critical manufacturing capabilities back to the U.S. while dramatically reducing the carbon footprint and material waste of industrial production.
