Additive Mfg & 3D Printing

Australian metal additive manufacturing company AML3D Limited has secured an order worth approximately $1.2 million for a small edition of its ARCEMY 3D printing system, to be delivered to the US Navy’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Danville, Virginia.

Australian metal 3D printing company AML3D has announced that it has received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from the US Department of the Navy, signalling plans to collaborate on key additive manufacturing (AM) initiatives as part of the Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base (MIB) expansion.

CSIRO’s Lab22 Innovation Centre is playing a pivotal role in advancing Australia’s metallic additive manufacturing sector, offering cutting-edge technology and research expertise to boost the competitiveness of local manufacturers.

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a novel dual-wavelength 3D printing technique that enables the clean removal of support structures, potentially overcoming one of the key challenges in additive manufacturing.

AML3D Limited has announced the appointment of Frederick J. Stefany, a former senior official in the US Department of the Navy, to the board of its US subsidiary, AML3D USA Inc. 

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) are partnering to advance the use of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, in the production of critical military components, aiming to increase trust and standardisation in the technology for naval applications.

Northumbria University has been awarded over €250,000 under the European Union’s Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Fellowship to drive research into sustainable manufacturing processes for 3D-printed construction materials.

Australian advanced manufacturing company AML3D has officially opened its new US Technology Facility in Stow, Ohio, marking a key development in the company’s North American operations and reinforcing its role in defence manufacturing aligned with the AUKUS security pact.

Stanford researchers have developed a new method to design and 3D print vascular systems, marking a major step toward producing transplantable organs from a patient’s own cells and potentially reducing wait times and rejection risks for thousands on US transplant lists.

Researchers at Arizona State University are working to enhance metal 3D printing processes through the development of artificial intelligence systems designed to improve the speed and reliability of producing critical components, including naval propellers.
