Aurora Labs in second defence 3D print order

Perth based Aurora Labs has received a second direct order for the Department of Defence for experimental additively manufactured metal components.

This follows a June order from Defence to supply experimental metal alloy 3D printed parts, as well as supplying print production specialty componentry over the coming months.

The company develops metal additive printers and operates a specialised industrial print service.

Like the first order this is relatively small – valued at only $46,094 – but is considered a significant milestone in the company’s strategy of entering the defence and aerospace markets.

Aurora Labs CEO Rebekah Letheby said: “Securing this second order from Defence is a clear validation of our strategic focus on the defence and aerospace markets.

“It reflects our commitment to innovation and delivering precision-manufactured components that meet the stringent demands of these critical industries.”

Letheby said the company was building a strong relationship with Defence based on the company’s laser powder bed fusion technologies.

“Out team’s deep knowledge in materials and metal printing ensures we are well positioned to continue expanding into these high value sectors.

“With this second purchase order, (Aurora Labs) is on an upward trajectory, firmly aligning with Australia’s defence industry base, and laying the ground work for larger, more diverse projects in the future.”
