AML3D announced that the U.S. Navy has purchased an industrial ARCEMY ‘X-Edition 6700’ Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) metal 3D printing system (ARCEMY X) to be used at the Navy’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) in Danville, Virginia.
This order, valued at approximately AUD$1.1 million (US$771,686), was placed through distributor Philips Corporation and is expected to be completed in early 2024. Phillips Corporation is acquiring the ARCEMY X to support the U.S. Navy’s robust and sustainable supply chain.
This is the second U.S. Navy order for an ARCEMY X, following an initial delivery in February 2023, as the U.S. Navy continues to leverage AML3D’s technology to increase its use of advanced additive manufacturing technologies.
AML3D Interim CEO Sean Ebert said: “We are extremely pleased the US Navy has purchased this ARCEMY ‘X-Edition 6700’ system, demonstrating their confidence in our technology and is a validation of our strategic focus on delivering ARCEMY systems to the US maritime and defence industries.
This follows the order, for the US Department of Defence, of an ARCEMY X early this year and further cements our strategic partnership with the US Navy. Our collaboration with Phillips Corp has been invaluable in expanding our presence in the US market and securing this order. We continue to actively engage with our partners to further deepen our presence in the US defence and federal sectors, which will drive further growth in sales into that sector.”
