ROCK HILL, SC, USA, Jul 30, 2026 – 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) announced that the National Additive Manufacturing and Innovation Company (NAMI) has been granted a Military Manufacturing License by the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) of Saudi Arabia.
NAMI is a joint venture between 3D Systems, Dussur (Saudi Arabian Industrial Investments Company), and Saudi Energy. The GAMI license authorizes NAMI to engage in regulated military manufacturing activities in the Kingdom, positioning it among a limited group of Saudi companies with this authorization.
The license strengthens NAMI’s ability to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objective of localizing more than 50 percent of military spending by 2030. It also enables more efficient collaboration with international defense original equipment manufacturers on the qualification and production of critical aerospace and defense components in the Kingdom.
NAMI focuses on three priority markets in Saudi Arabia: military aerospace and defense, oil and gas, and energy generation and transmission. In the current environment, the company’s advanced manufacturing capabilities also support efforts to reduce risk of infrastructure interruptions by enabling localized, on-demand production of critical parts.
NAMI operates in a growing additive manufacturing market in Saudi Arabia, an industry valued at more than $300 million currently and projected to grow to almost $2 billion by 2034, (source: IMARC Group), supported by Vision 2030 localization priorities across defense, energy, and industrial sectors.
“This license expands NAMI’s addressable market and strengthens the foundation for long-term growth,” said Eng. Mohammed Swaidan, CEO of NAMI. “It enables us to deploy our established manufacturing capabilities across regulated defense programs, expand the production of mission critical parts, and advance Saudi Arabia’s position in advanced manufacturing.”
“The GAMI license further demonstrates the strategic value of our joint venture in Saudi Arabia,” said Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and CEO of 3D Systems. “It strengthens our ability to support leading defense OEMs as they pursue localization and supply-chain resilience in the Kingdom, reinforcing 3D Systems’ position in the aerospace and defense markets.”
