• Collaboration to explore 3D-printed micro gas turbines and advanced propulsion systems
• Partnership marks Aurora Labs' entry into the U.S. aerospace and defence technology ecosystem
• Opportunity to validate cutting-edge technologies and reinforce position as a key player in propulsion innovation

Aurora Labs Limited (ASX: A3D), an Australian leader in industrial 3D printing, has announced the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mayman Aerospace, a U.S.-based developer of advanced Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. This MoU sets the foundation for collaborative exploration in the application of 3D metal printed propulsion technologies, applied to Mayman's innovative AI-powered VTOL aircraft technologies. Under the terms of the MoU, Aurora Labs and Mayman Aerospace will collaborate closely across several areas of mutual interest over a two-year term. Central to the agreement is a shared commitment to exploring the potential of additively manufactured micro gas turbines for adaptation to Mayman's technology suite. By exchanging technical knowledge and performance data, the parties aim to accelerate the development of these compact propulsion units for integration into advanced aircraft systems. In addition to technical collaboration, the MoU outlines an intent to work jointly on industry engagement, leveraging each other's networks across the global Defence and aerospace communities. For Aurora Labs, this agreement offers a valuable opportunity to validate its cutting-edge technologies within a U.S. aerospace environment, while reinforcing its position as a key player in the next wave of propulsion innovation.

The partnership with Mayman Aerospace opens new possibilities for propulsion integration and rapid prototyping that can accelerate Aurora Labs' path to commercialising 3D printed propulsion systems through integration into forward-looking aircraft designs.
