From nuclear fusion to massive metal AM production, with James DeMuth, CEO of Seurat Technologies

VoxelMatters Podcast

Our guest is James DeMuth, CEO of Seurat Technologies, one of the most fascinating new companies to emerge, targeting metal additive mass production. Seurat has received a lot of media attention lately because it looks to introduce one of the most innovative and disruptive new technologies we have seen, taking along lessons learned from nuclear fusion studies.

James holds an Master degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University with a focus on energy systems and high-temperature gas dynamics, and a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Santa Clara University. He has co-authored 83 patents and 13 academic publications in the fields of additive manufacturing and power generation.

Prior to founding Seurat, James was at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where he worked on the Laser Inertial Fusion Energy project. Working on one of the most advanced machines ever created by humans, he co-invented and developed the core of Seurat's breakthrough Additive Manufacturing technology, Area Printing

Seurat Technologies recently closed a $21M Series B extension with investments Xerox Ventures and SIP Global Partners, bringing total funding for the company to $79M. What makes Seurat’s vision for massively scaling metal AM even more credible is that his background focuses on how to efficiently handle and precisely direct huge amounts of energy.

In this podcast we will understand more about the company’s unique proposition for highly scalable metal AM via Area Printing technology and how this could lead to more sustainable mass manufacturing of metal parts.
