AML3D and Boeing in manufacturing licence agreement

Wire arc additive manufacturing machinery manufacturer AML3D has finalised a defence Manufacturing License Agreement with Boeing Defence and Space and its Australian subsidiaries.

The MLA allows Boeing to provide technical data, defence services and the option to temporarily import parts to allow testing, inspection and additive manufacturing of components to support maintenance of aircraft.

The finalisation of the MLA positions AML3D to supply aircraft components to Boeing’s subsidiaries, Boeing Defence Australia and Boeing Australia Holdings.

The highlights of the Defence MLA with Boeing Defence include:

• Support for additive manufacture, testing and inspection of parts use to maintain aircraft
• Compliance with US Government regulations that supports access to defence contracts restricted by the US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR contracts)
• And alignment with AML3D’s strategic objective of expanding in Aerospace defence and additional defence markets globally.

The MLA progresses AML3D’s relationship with Boeing, with the company one of only two wire-arc additive manufacturing companies that can manufacture certified flight and non-flight components for the aviation, space and defence industries.

The company secured an initial contract to supply Boeing with a 3D printed tooling component in June 2021.

AML3D told investors that customer receipts for the June 2024 quarter were $1.64 million, comprised $1.06 million of Australian ARCEMY system milestone payments and component contracts and $0.58 million from US ‘Scale up’ ARCEMY system milestone payments in support of the US Navy’s Centre of Excellence at Danville, Virginia.

The 2024 full year customer receipts were $8.30 million.
