• AML3D to manufacture five high demand components for in-service trials on US Navy submarines
• The AU$2.61 million contract is for the delivery of large-scale, non-safety critical components
• AML3D is solving a US Navy's sustainment challenge by printing a component no longer supported by the original manufacturer

AML3D Limited (ASX:AL3) has announced an order for high-demand, non-safety critical replacement components used in US Navy submarines. AML3D will leverage its proprietary ARCEMY® technology to 3D metal print five of the high-demand components, which are no longer available from the original manufacturer. The order, valued at around AU$2.61 million (US$1.84 million), has been signed with BlueForge Alliance, a US nonprofit, neutral integrator supporting the strengthening and sustainment of the US Navy's Submarine Industrial Base. The contract follows successful hydrostatic testing by the US Navy of ARCEMY® 3D metal printed components and is expected to run for approximately 10 months, commencing in the fourth quarter of the current financial year. The five high-demand, non-safety critical replacement components will be printed using a Nickel-Aluminum-Bronze (NAB) alloy, which AML3D has already qualified to meet US Navy standards. This contract demonstrates that AML3D is uniquely positioned to address supply chain constraints across the US Navy's Maritime Industrial Base, with its WAM® technology producing high-quality, complex components that match and exceed those supplied by traditional manufacturers with a significant reduction in lead times. AML3D's US scale-up strategy continues to accelerate, with this latest contract adding to over AU$30 million in US Defense-related contracts.

AML3D's advanced industrial 3D metal printing technology is increasingly being embedded in the US Navy's Maritime Industrial Base. This contract allows the company to continue building and deepening its long-term, strategic partnership with the US Navy and supports its investment to double capacity at its US Technology Center in Ohio. AML3D's US scale-up strategy continues to deliver significant growth and value, while the company also progresses plans to enter the UK market and other globally significant markets across Europe.
