NUBURU, Inc. announced that Japan Laser Company (JLC), its distributor in Japan, has installed a NUBURU BL250 BlueScan system in the JLC Osaka office. The BL250 BlueScan system will be used to demonstrate micro welding and wire stripping to strategic electronic and medical device customers in the Japanese market. NUBURU's BL250 BlueScan system sets a new standard in high-power blue laser technology by optimizing beam quality through innovative engineering.

By minimizing the beam parameter product (BPP), the BL250 BlueScan system achieves maximum brightness, which is essential for efficient laser performance. Its unique approach involves actively aligned micro-optics to circularize and collimate the output of individual diodes, preserving the BPP and creating a high-power beam. This design contrasts with linear diode arrays, which suffer from increased BPP and reduced brightness.

NUBURU's technology ensures higher power density, resulting in faster processing speeds and deeper weld penetration, enhancing overall performance in industrial applications. Japan's electronic and medical device market is experiencing significant growth, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for innovative healthcare solutions. The medical device market in Japan is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.34% from 2022 to 2027, reaching approximately USD 282.11 billion by 2027.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, the aging population, and the growing emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment are expected to fuel this growth. In 2023, the Japanese market for medical devices was valued at around USD 29.7 billion and is expected to continue growing as the adoption of digital health technologies and AI-enabled devices increases. NUBURU's cutting-edge technology could resonate well with Japan's tech-savvy population.

NUBURU's blue lasers offer the highest brightness available, enabling effective use with Galvo scanners and delivering superior results in welding, soldering, and additive manufacturing of various metals - including copper, gold, aluminum, and stainless steel, as well as joining dissimilar metals. NUBURU's all-semiconductor construction and proprietary chip-based design ensure greater stability, reliability, and operating efficiency than other laser types.
