Cleaning Up: Leadership in an Age of Climate Change25 Tammi 2023

Disrupting Manufacturing with Laser Printing - Ep114: James DeMuth

This week on Cleaning Up, Michael is joined by James DeMuth. James is co-founder and CEO of Seurat Technologies, a specialist in 3D metal printing, or Additive Manufacturing. With their own licensed laser technology, their aim is to decarbonize traditional, emissions-intensive manufacturing processes by competing with them, and ultimately, displacing them. Relevant Guest & Topic

James is evangelical about the potential of Seurat’s technology to transform the manufacturing industry for the better:

“Our goal is to make hardware production as simple to do and as cheap to produce as it is to write code and software... I don't think we have any concept, at all, for the explosion in applications that we would see when that happens.”
