Aurora Labs announced the receipt of a second purchase order from the Australian Department of Defence, reinforcing its role in delivering advanced 3D metal printing solutions to the Defence sector.
This latest order, valued at $46,094, will see A3D manufacture experimental metal alloy components using its proprietary industrial 3D printing technology, as stated in a news release.
“This second order from Defence is a clear validation of our strategic focus on the Defence and aerospace markets,” said Rebekah Letheby, CEO of A3D.
“It reflects our commitment to innovation and delivering precision-manufactured components that meet the stringent demands of these critical industries.”
The components under the new order will be produced using A3D’s laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology, known for its precision and effectiveness in high-performance manufacturing.
A3D has identified Defence and aerospace as key growth markets and sees this development as an essential step in building its position within these sectors.
We are building a strong relationship with Defence, and this latest order which follows the initial purchase order for first phase printed products received in June 2024, confirms A3D’s growing role in supporting Australia’s sovereign defence capabilities,” Letheby added.
“Our team’s deep knowledge in materials and metal printing processes ensures we are well-positioned to continue expanding into these high-value sectors.”
With its expanding presence in Defence and Aerospace, A3D said it aims to capitalise on emerging opportunities and further enhance its contributions to Australia’s strategic defence objectives.
