AML3D’s ARCEMY X operational at US Navy supplier Cogitic
AML3D Limited, headquartered in Edinburgh, Australia, has announced that the industrial-scale ARCEMY X-Edition 6700 Wire Arc Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing machine ordered by Cogitic, Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA, is now commissioned and operational.
The terms of the ~AUS $2.5 million (US $1.6 million) ARCEMY X order included staged payment upon meeting delivery and installation milestones. The successful completion of the testing and installation in June 2024, and final commissioning late July 2024, triggers the final payments, representing the remaining 50% of the order value.
Cogitic is a supplier of componentry to the US Navy’s Submarine Industrial base and specialises in complex parts and assemblies that are integral to ‘cannot-fail’ applications for critical marine defence and defence-related industries.
AML3D Managing Director Sean Ebert said, “The successful commissioning of this Cogitic ARCEMY X system advances a key objective of AML3D’s US scale-up strategy, embedding our WAM technology in the supply chains for the US defence industry and, in particular, US Navy’s submarine industrial base. AML3D recently established a US Headquarters and manufacturing hub, in Ohio, to maximise opportunities for ARCEMY system and component manufacturing and testing sales to the US defence sector.
“AML3D’s US scale-up strategy includes expanding beyond the US defence sector to supply advanced manufacturing and metal 3D printing solutions to US based, global Tier 1 Oil and gas, marine and aerospace companies.
“Alongside supporting the US defence sector, Cogitic is also a key supplier to other industries,” Ebert continued. “AML3D is keen to build on its existing commercial relationship with Cogitic to explore the provision of AML3D’s advanced manufacturing solutions to the benefit of Cogitic’s broader client base, as we advanced our strategy to support Tier 1 US corporates.”
