AML3D gets LOI from US Navy

AML3D announced receipt of a Letter of Intent outlining the US Navy’s plans to collaborate with AML3D on several key additive manufacturing initiatives. The LOI highlights AML3D’s role supporting the US Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base (“MIB”) program’s expansion into surface ships and in-service support. The LOI focusses on AML3D’s ability to support materials characterisation, parts manufacturing and supply of large scale ARCEMY metal 3D printing systems.

The LOI includes MIB demand study findings that, following materials characterisation, a minimum of ~400 parts will need to be produced additively in 2026, which is expected to ramp up to ~1,600 parts by 2030. The MIB demand study also shows AML3D’s ARCEMY^® systems are pivotal in meeting the need to install up to one hundred new additive manufacturing systems across the industrial base. The US Navy also plans to regularly update AML3D with potential demand forecasts to inform the company’s planned expansion of US operations.

Deputy Program Manager for Ships, US Navy, Maritime Industrial Base, Matthew D Evans, said: “We are excited about the prospect of working together to drive advancements in AM for the Navy. We look forward to discussing these opportunities in more detail and exploring how we can leverage AML3D’s expertise to achieve mutual success. Thank you for the excellent collaboration to date.”
