Perth-based 3D printing company Aurora Labs has entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Chevron Australia for the potential future provision of Additive Manufacturing services.
In a media release, the ASX-listed company said the contract is aligned with Aurora Labs’ strategy of providing AM Solutions to local industry.
The MSA, which has not set a fixed term, specified the performance standards and professional norms that Aurora will follow when contracted to develop 3D-printed components for Chevron Australia’s activities.
In particular, the MSA award builds on Aurora’s strategy to advance its AM Solutions business across the energy, mineral processing, defence, and industrial sectors.
It comes on the heels of a three-year contract signed with Alcoa in February 2023, a recent Memorandum of Understanding signed with Aramco, a successful qualification print campaign with Woodside Energy, and the recent award of ISO 9001 certification.
A non-binding memorandum of understanding between Aurora and Aramco will allow them to potentially work together on the development of various 3D printing prospects.
Additionally, the ISO 9001 certification was awarded for the company’s quality management system.
Peter Snowsill, CEO of Aurora Labs, stated that the MSA has been intentionally created to establish the performance objectives and industry standards that Aurora will be obliged to comply with while delivering 3D-printed parts for Chevron Australia’s operations.
“There is an increasing trend of companies looking to adopt AM for their operations to improve their operational efficiency and supply chain resilience,” Snowsill said.
He added, “This contract award aligns with our strategy to offer AM Solutions to local companies in the energy, defence and mineral processing industries.”
According to the CEO, Aurora’s future expansion objectives are encouraged by its capacity to vertically integrate to design, manufacture, and qualify its printers to fulfil the expanding demand.
