Metallurgy Technician

About Seurat

Seurat Technologies is transforming metal manufacturing through Area Printing®,

a proprietary additive manufacturing process pioneered at Lawrence Livermore National

Laboratory. By printing an entire area at once rather than tracing each point with a single laser, Area Printing is designed to deliver the quality, throughput, and economics required for serial production. Seurat is producing and shipping metal components today while scaling its technology and factory capacity to compete with conventional manufacturing, reshore critical supply chains, and reduce the environmental impact of industrial production.

Seurat has raised over $

230 million and is backed by leading financial and strategic investors,

including

NVentures, NVIDIA's venture capital arm; Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund; Honda; Porsche
