EDINBURGH, Australia, Apr 3, 2026 – AML3D Limited (ASX:AL3) (“AML3D” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce an order for high demand, non-safety critical replacement components used in US Navy submarines. AML3D will leverage its proprietary ARCEMY technology to 3D metal print five of the high demand components, which are no longer available from the original manufacturer. The order has been signed with BlueForge Alliance, a US nonprofit, neutral integrator, supporting the strengthening and sustainment of the US Navy’s Submarine Industrial Base.
This US Navy submarine components contract is valued at circa ~AU$2.61 million, (US$1.84 million), payable up front and upon meeting contract milestones. The contract follows successful hydrostatic testing, by the US Navy, of ARCEMY 3D metal printed components and is expected to run for a period of approximately 10 months commencing in the fourth quarter of the current financial year. The five high demand, non-safety critical replacement components will be printed using a Nickel-Aluminum-Bronze (NAB) alloy, which AML3D has already qualified to meet US Navy standards.
This high demand component manufacturing contract demonstrates that AML3D is uniquely positioned to address supply chain constraints across the US Navy’s Maritime Industrial base. AML3D’s WAM technology produces high quality, complex components that match and exceed those supplied by traditional manufacturers with a significant reduction in lead times. AML3D’s US scale-up strategy continues to accelerate and has already delivered US Defense related contracts in excess of AU$30million.
AML3D CEO Sean Ebert said, “Signing this order is a significant milestone for AML3D. It shows our advanced manufacturing technology is key to solving critical supply chain challenges for the US Navy’s submarine program. These complex components are no longer supported by the original manufacturer and could not be sourced in a time and cost-effective manner from the Navy’s traditional supplier base.”
AML3D’s advanced industrial 3D metal printing technology is increasingly being embedded in the US Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base. This contract allows us to continue to build and deepen our long-term, strategic partnership with the US Navy’s and supports our investment to double capacity at our US Technology Center in Ohio. Our US scale-up strategy continues to deliver significant growth and value to AML3D and its shareholders. It is informing our entry into the UK market and our plans to expand into other globally significant markets across Europe.
