AML3D sells 3D Printing System to Curtin University

3D printer manufacturer AML3D Limited announced the progression of a mid-sized ARCEMY Wire Additive Manufacturing metal 3D printing system to Curtin University (Curtin). This ARCEMY system will complement existing research and development capabilities at Curtin’s new Additive Manufacturing Microfactory Facility.

This sale complements Curtin’s existing research and development capabilities in its new Additive Manufacturing Microfactory Facility and supports the growth of 3D wire manufacturing. Curtin’s Microfactory will serve as a satellite R&D platform for AML3D to demonstrate ARCEMY capabilities to customers.

AML3D will collaborate with Curtin on a research program using the new ARCEMY system. This will include a contribution of A$100,000 per year for three years to support one full-time researcher on stipend and one PhD student. The research will focus on new alloys and materials science.

AML3D Interim CEO Sean Ebert comments on the sale: “AML3D is delighted to be able to support Curtin University in expanding its wire additive manufacturing capabilities with the purchase of an enterprise-level ARCEMY System. This sale represents AML3D delivering against its strategic objectives and is an excellent opportunity to partner with Curtin to expand the applications for our Wire Additive Manufacturing technology in Australia and globally.

We look forward to collaborating with Curtin on research that will enhance the capability of our ARCEMY systems for our customers, especially in defence and maritime. Over the longer term, this research program should help to position AML3D to benefit from an expected expansion of defence manufacturing that AUKUS and other demand signals will drive.

Our ability to use this new ARCEMY system for satellite manufacturing is also expected to advance further AML3D developing new customer relationships across Western Australia’s Oil & Gas, Defence/Maritime and Mining industries and expand the market for on-demand metal 3D printed products and spare parts.”
