• New U.S. facility strengthens America's defense manufacturing capabilities
• Supports the Virginia-class submarine program and the AUKUS partnership
• Utilizes AML3D's proprietary wire-arc additive manufacturing technology

AML3D Limited (ASX:AL3), a leading provider of advanced Wire-arc Additive Manufacturing (WAM®) technology, has officially opened its new U.S. Technology Facility in Stow, Ohio. The facility represents a significant milestone in strengthening America's defense manufacturing capabilities and supporting the trilateral AUKUS partnership between the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. The grand opening ceremony showcased the completion of an advanced manufacturing system for the Tennessee Valley Authority, demonstrating AML3D's contribution to America's defense and energy infrastructure. The facility supports the U.S. Navy's Virginia-class submarine program and the broader AUKUS partnership by producing large-scale metal components using AML3D's proprietary wire-arc additive manufacturing technology. This advanced approach creates complex, high-strength components critical to submarine construction while reducing production timelines, costs, and material waste compared to traditional methods. The facility houses advanced manufacturing systems serving defense, aerospace, and energy applications, and supplies manufacturing machines to commercial manufacturers across the United States. The new facility is expected to create significant local employment opportunities, with plans to hire skilled technicians, engineers, and manufacturing specialists. AML3D is actively partnering with local educational institutions to develop training programs that will prepare Ohio workers for advanced manufacturing careers.

The new U.S. facility is expected to contribute to AML3D's growth as demand increases for its advanced manufacturing capabilities in the defense, aerospace, and energy sectors.

AML3D is actively exploring opportunities to expand its role in submarine production, aerospace manufacturing, and energy infrastructure projects, with additional facilities possible as the market develops.
