Sakuu Leaders Share Battery Manufacturing Insights on Multiple Podcasts
Our leadership team at Sakuu rode a big wave of podcast appearances in May.
Several Sakuu executives sat down with other industry thought leaders to discuss cleantech growth, additive manufacturing, and battery manufacturing innovation. It’s always an honor to share our work and connect with other professionals who care deeply about innovation, advancing manufacturing, and electrification.
Cleantechies
3D Printed Batteries with Robert Bagheri
Sakuu Founder, CEO, and Executive Chairman Robert Bagheri spoke with the Cleantechies podcast about how the company is “ripping up the 45-year-old battery manufacturing playbook” to enable customers to dry print the future of energy storage and re-industrialize America. Robert also shared his entrepreneurial lessons from building eight different startups, including why making onshoring a bipartisan issue is about economics, and why hiring for attitude will always beat hiring for pedigree.

Additive Snack
Printing Batteries: How Additive Manufacturing (AM) is Changing Battery Manufacturing and Performance
The Additive Snack podcast hosted Sakuu CTO Karl Littau to discuss why rechargeable battery manufacturing has changed little in decades and how Sakuu is rethinking it with additive approaches. The conversation also covered future possibilities like multi-material patterning, arbitrary shapes, bipolar designs that reduce metal, and broader impacts on EVs, grid storage, and electrification. And, ultimately, what these advancements could mean for humanity.
