Revolutionizing battery manufacturing: Printing the future of energy

Join the Stanford Energy Club and Stanford Founders for an exclusive conversation with Karl Littau, Chief Technology Officer at Sakuu, the company pioneering multi-material additive manufacturing for next-generation batteries. With a career spanning Applied Materials, Xerox PARC, Intermolecular, and Stanford's Geballe Lab, Karl brings a unique perspective on scaling deep tech at the intersection of chemistry, materials science, and manufacturing.

This fireside chat will explore how Sakuu is challenging conventional battery production by leveraging dry-process printing to reduce costs, improve performance, and unlock entirely new design possibilities for energy storage.

Key themes include:

• Bridging the gap between printing and electrochemistry
• Replacing entrenched battery manufacturing methods with scalable dry processes
• Navigating cost vs. performance in high-stakes energy storage
• Building a more sustainable, low-waste battery supply chain
• What printed batteries mean for mobility, consumer tech, and beyond

Whether you're passionate about battery innovation, advanced manufacturing, sustainability, or energy entrepreneurship, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
