Sakuu is a U.S.-based pioneer in battery technology and provider of manufacturing machinery, established in 2016. The company specializes in developing methods for fabricating electrodes and lithium metal battery cells through additive manufacturing techniques. Sakuu's Kavian 3D printing system allows for the creation of battery electrodes with customizable shapes, dimensions, and chemical compositions. In August 2022, the company inaugurated a facility dedicated to battery printing and engineering.
Initially, Sakuu intended to become publicly traded via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger in 2023; however, this plan was subsequently abandoned. By July 2024, Sakuu had formed a joint development partnership with SK On aimed at commercializing the dry process Kavian platform for electrode production.
