AML3D announces that it has entered into an agreement to supply components for maritime application testing with the Australian Government’s Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG). AML3D has been contracted for A$0.24 million to 3D metal print two typical marine components made of high strength duplex steel alloy and Nickel Aluminium Bronze (“NAB”) alloy. At AML3D’s Adelaide plant, production of the test components will start right away in order to supply them in FY24.
The deal is evidence of AML3D’s ongoing success in branching out into other international defence industries to support its robust US expansion. In CY2023, the company’s US “Scale up” strategy brought in about A$12 million in contracts1, with an emphasis on bolstering the US Navy’s submarine industrial base. Utilizing the US playbook, AML3D is quickening its foray into new defence sectors in order to satisfy the increasing need for sophisticated manufacturing solutions.
“We are thrilled to be directly supplying test NAB and Duplex steel components to the DSTG,” stated Sean Ebert, CEO of AML3D. “The DSTG is tasked with evaluating the best of Australian science, technology, and innovation to address Australia’s Defence and national security challenges. Multiple rounds of testing for marine defence have been completed both domestically and in the US by AML3D using duplex steel and NAB produced by WAM®. This increases our confidence that we will fulfil the DSTG requirements and opens up potential new contract prospects. AML3D’s demonstration of the benefits of our cutting-edge WAM® technology for Australian maritime defence applications is in line with our strategic goal of keeping up our growth into defence markets that exhibit the same robust demand signals that have supported our success in the US.”
