AML3D has received a $0.28 million order from Century Engineering, an Australian Defence and industry supplier, to upgrade a robotic welding system into a cutting-edge ARCEMY metal 3D printing system.

The conversion will entail an overhaul of the legacy system, integrating modern Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing components and replacing outdated software with the latest ARCEMY systems, the firm said in an ASX announcement. 

“Our ability to retrofit an older AML3D, robotic welding system and bring it up to the specifications of a modern ARCEMY® Wire-Arc Additive metal 3D printing system is evidence of delivery of our broader strategic objectives,” said AML3D CEO Sean Ebert.

The upgrades to the Century Engineering robotic system are anticipated to be completed within the next quarter.

The order also includes 12 months of software support to ensure seamless operation and integration.

Expanding ARCEMY sales into Defence and industrial markets outside the US is part of our broader strategy to deliver high levels of sustainable growth,” Ebert added.

“Providing ARCEMY® system capabilities to Century Engineering, a supplier to the Australian Defence and industrial sectors, allows AML3D to further penetrate this important additional market,” he noted.

Furthermore, Ebert expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “It is pleasing to announce a new Australian ARCEMY® order while we are continuing to see huge demand for our ARCEMY® systems and manufacturing capabilities in the USA, especially within the US Navy submarine industrial base and prime US Navy suppliers.”

This Century Engineering order is evidence of our ability to stay focussed on our US Scale up strategy and expand into additional markets such as Australia and, in due course, the UK,” Ebert concluded.
