AML3D has announced an approximately A $9.9 million order for four custom, large scale Arcemy X 6700 systems from HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division.
“The step change in the size and value of this HII ARCEMY order is very much reflective of the strong and growing demand signals that underpin AML3D’s continued expansion into the U.S. defense market. It is also a strong endorsement of our U.S. ‘Scale up’ strategy which included establishing our U.S. technology Center in Stow Ohio and our plans to invest $12 million to expand our U.S. production capabilities," AML3D CEO, Sean Ebert, stated.
On completion of the order, NNS will have a fleet of six custom Arcemy X systems.
"Not only do we expect to see a continued growth in U.S. defense orders we are also looking to continue to expand into other sectors. We have already successfully supplied ARCEMY technology to the Tennessee Valley Authority, the largest public utility in the U.S., and are targeting growth across the U.S. Marine, Energy, Aerospace and Oil & Gas sectors. In addition, we are seeing the emergence of early-stage demand in our UK and European markets that is similar to the demand signals that are driving our success in the U.S," Ebert said.
The Arcemy systems that have been ordered by NNS are being supplied from AML3D’s new US Technology Centre in Ohio. All four additional NNS Arcemy Xs are expected to be installed and operational during the third quarter of FY2027.
The NNS Arcemy Xs are custom systems based on the large scale Arcemy X 6700 but using an approximately 11,000kg positioner to create a heavy capacity build capability.
The additional Arcemy Xs will be used for a variety of shipbuilding applications, including ship component fabrication and replacement.
