Australian metal 3D printing company AML3D has experienced significant commercial and research developments. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, the company reported a 70% revenue increase to A$12.5 million, primarily fueled by expansion into the United States defense sector and demand from the U.S. Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base. Despite a full-year net loss of A$4.5 million, the company achieved its first EBITDA-positive half-year.

AML3D has secured contracts to deploy 14 ARCEMY systems into the U.S. Navy supply chain and completed the commissioning of two custom systems at Newport News Shipbuilding. Furthermore, the company has joined a three-year aerospace manufacturing research and development project, contributing approximately A$530,000 to mature its Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAM) technology for aerospace tooling applications.
