NUBURU is a Centennial, Colorado laser manufacturer whose 450nm blue-laser systems weld copper and aluminum and power a counter-UAS laser dazzler.
NUBURU, Inc. is a Colorado-based developer and manufacturer of high-power blue laser systems for industrial materials processing. The company was incorporated in 2015 by Dr. Mark Zediker, who previously founded laser companies Nuvonyx Inc. and Foro Energy Inc. NUBURU is headquartered at 7442 Tucson Way, Suite 130, Centennial, Colorado.
The company's core technology is blue-wavelength laser light sources, which it markets as delivering higher absorption rates in reflective metals such as copper, aluminum, silver, gold, and nickel compared with traditional infrared lasers. NUBURU's product line includes the NUBURU BL series, a free-space delivery laser platform available up to 250W, and the NUBURU BL-F series, a fiber-delivered laser system compatible with galvo scanners and rated up to 1kW. These systems are marketed for spatter-free, defect-free welding of dissimilar and reflective metals used in electric-vehicle battery packs, busbars, and battery interconnects, as well as for metal marking, soldering, and metal additive manufacturing.
Target industries for NUBURU's welding lasers include consumer electronics manufacturing, e-mobility and electric-vehicle battery production, and medical device manufacturing, where precise, high-speed joining of thin and dissimilar metal components is required. Beyond materials processing, NUBURU has also developed directed-energy technology for defense applications; in July 2026 the company announced promising trial results for a laser dazzler system designed for counter-unmanned aircraft system (counter-UAS) use, extending its blue-laser platform into non-lethal drone deterrence.
NUBURU's laser technology has been recognized with multiple industry awards, including a Frost & Sullivan award and Laser Focus World Innovators Awards in 2018, 2019, and 2020, as well as SPIE Prism Awards recognition for photonics innovation. The company positions its blue lasers as enabling technology for manufacturers seeking to eliminate spatter and porosity defects common with infrared laser welding of copper and aluminum, materials increasingly used in EV battery and electronics assembly.
The company can be reached through its headquarters office in Centennial, Colorado, at +1 720-767-1400, or by email at [email protected] for sales inquiries. NUBURU maintains an active LinkedIn company page and YouTube channel where it publishes product demonstrations and technical content about its blue laser welding and marking systems. As of 2026, NUBURU continues to expand its blue laser platform's applications from its original focus on industrial metal welding into adjacent defense and security markets, reflecting broader industry interest in directed-energy and photonics technologies for both manufacturing and counter-drone use cases.
