AML3D has announced a manufacture contract for the provision of a test part for BAE Systems Maritime Australia (BAESMA) contract to design and build the Hunter class frigates for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
The test part contract follows previously announced feasibility and commercial validation testing programs that demonstrated the AML3D’s Wire Arc Manufacturing (WAM) is a cost-effective manufacturing solution that meets RAN standards.
The contract for a test Hunter class frigate component and additional test materials will be carried out at AML3D’s manufacturing facilities in Adelaide.
“We had great confidence that our WAM technology would satisfy BAESMA’s testing and move into component manufacturing," said Sean Ebert, AML3D’s Chief Executive Officer.
"Expanding our relationship with BAESMA in Australia, as part of its work for the Royal Australian Navy, is a great example of delivering on this aspect of our growth plan and diversifying our revenue base.”
The work associated with this contract will commence immediately and is expected to run for 8 to 10 weeks, and is not expected to exceed $200 thousand.
