Full Summary

AML3D Limited has announced a ~$9.9 million order for four custom, large-scale ARCEMY X 6700 systems from HII's Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division, the largest U.S. military shipbuilder. This order will bring the total number of ARCEMY X systems at NNS to six. The ARCEMY systems ordered by NNS are being supplied from AML3D's New U.S. Technology Centre in Ohio and are expected to be installed and operational during the third quarter of FY2027. The NNS ARCEMY Xs are custom systems based on the large-scale ARCEMY X 6700 but using an ~11,000kg positioner to create a heavy capacity build capability. HII's continued adoption of AML3D's advanced additive manufacturing technology helps to expedite lead times, produce components to a higher standard than traditional manufacturing, and with significant reductions in waste and environmental impacts. The additional ARCEMY Xs will be used for a variety of shipbuilding applications, including ship component fabrication and replacement. AML3D CEO Sean Ebert stated that the step change in the size and value of this HII ARCEMY order is reflective of the strong and growing demand signals that underpin the company's continued expansion into the U.S. defense market. He also noted that the company is looking to continue to expand into other sectors, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, the largest public utility in the U.S., as well as the Marine, Energy, Aerospace and Oil & Gas sectors in the U.S. and emerging early-stage demand in the UK and European markets.

Outlook

AML3D is looking to continue to expand its use of ARCEMY technology to execute U.S. Navy contracts, which is a key part of the company's growth strategy. The company is also targeting growth across the U.S. Marine, Energy, Aerospace and Oil & Gas sectors, and is seeing the emergence of early-stage demand in the UK and European markets.
