About SAKUU
Sakuu Corporation is a pioneering startup that operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically focusing on the production of battery electrodes through 3D printing.

This platform is designed to serve battery innovators and manufacturers, providing them with a more efficient and sustainable method of producing batteries.
Read full description
Sakuu's business model is centered around licensing its proprietary Cypress lithium metal cell chemistry and Kavian platform to manufacturers. This allows manufacturers to produce batteries without the use of toxic solvents or wasted materials, thereby reducing their environmental impact. The Kavian platform also helps to regionalize supply chains, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with transporting materials.
In addition to licensing its technology, Sakuu also generates revenue by offering manufacturing services to clients. This includes the production of fully functional printed lithium-metal batteries, printed and patterned lithium-metal anodes, and custom form factor lithium-metal batteries.
Sakuu's innovative approach to battery manufacturing has the potential to revolutionize the industry by making the production process more efficient, sustainable, and adaptable to the needs of individual manufacturers. The company's focus on sustainability and reducing environmental impact aligns with growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products and practices.
