AML3D upgrades Australian defence supplier with conversion to ARCEMY
July 22, 2024

AML3D Limited, headquartered in Edinburgh, Australia, has announced an order from Century Engineering, an Australian defence and industry supplier, to convert an existing AML3D robotic welding system into an ARCEMY metal Additive Manufacturing machine. The conversion process involves a complete overhaul of the legacy machine to install Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing componentry, along with the replacement of the software systems to operate the latest ARCEMY software.
The upgrades to the Century Engineering robotic system are expected to be completed within the next quarter. The completion of the order will see the introduction of an additional ARCEMY machine to the Australian market, supporting Century Engineering’s ability to meet the needs of its customers across the Australian defence, mining, power and water industries.
AML3D CEO Sean Ebert said, “Our ability to retrofit an older AML3D, robotic welding system and bring it up to the specifications of a modern ARCEMY Wire-Arc Additive metal 3D printing system is evidence of delivery of our broader strategic objectives. Expanding ARCEMY sales into defence and industrial markets outside the US is part of our broader strategy to deliver high levels of sustainable growth. Providing ARCEMY system capabilities to Century Engineering, a supplier to the Australian Defence and industrial sectors, allows AML3D to further penetrate this important additional market.”
“It is pleasing to announce a new Australian ARCEMY order while we are continuing to see huge demand for our ARCEMY systems and manufacturing capabilities in the USA, especially within the US Navy submarine industrial base and prime US Navy suppliers. This Century Engineering order is evidence of our ability to stay focused on our US Scale up strategy and expand into additional markets such as Australia and, in due course, the UK,” Ebert added.
