JUNE 2025 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT AND APPENDIX 4C
AML3D Limited (ASX: AL3) ( "AML3D" or "the Company" ), a leader in large scale Wire Additive Manufacturing (“ WAM” ) technology and 3D metal printing solutions, is pleased to provide the Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 30 June 2025 (Q4FY25).
KEY HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE QUARTER
Continuing strong growth in the US market has delivered A$2.9m in customer receipts for the June 2025 Quarter, a 77% increase on the prior comparable period ( PCP). AML3D leveraged the official opening, in June, of the company’s Manufacturing and Technology centre in Stow, Ohio[1] to continue to strengthen and deepen relationships with key opinion leaders ( KOL ) and partners in the US Defence, Government and Manufacturing sectors. In July, the US Department of the Navy issued a Letter of Intent ( LOI) identifying AML3D’s proprietary ARCEMY technology as key to meeting the additive manufacturing needs of the US Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base ( MIB), a potential $150 - $200 million opportunity[2] .
Key highlights during the quarter included:
-
Official opening of US manufacturing and technology centre in Stow, Ohio
-
US advocacy program positions AML3D as pivotal to meeting MIB additive manufacturing needs.
-
US leadership strengthened as the architect of US Navy MIB program, Frederick Stefany joins US Board.
-
The largest custom ARCEMY® System to date goes online at Austal USA
-
Entry into the UK defence sector with alloy test contract with MoD prime supplier BAE systems
-
Strong cash position of $30.4m to fund US expansion and to establish a European manufacturing base
GROWTH STRATEGY
The official opening of AML3D’s US Technology Centre is timely and key to the Company’s growth strategy. It positions AML3D to take advantage of the $150 to $200 million opportunity outlined in the US Department of the Navy LOI issued to AML3D. The LOI identifies AML3D’s ARCEMY technology as ‘pivotal’ to US Navy’s plans to accelerate MIB manufacturing. The Stow facility rapidly scales AML3D’s capabilities to meet this significant and growing demand across the US Defence sector but also across civilian infrastructure and manufacturing applications. The appointment of Mr. Frederick J Stefany, the first Program Manager of the US Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base (“MIB”), to the AML3D USA Board[3] provides the US leadership team with access to invaluable experience, insights and relationships across the US Navy and Department of Defense.

AML3D launched the ‘US Scale up’ strategy in February 2023, with an order for a large scale ARCEMY® X advanced manufacturing system for Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee[4] in support of the US Navy’s submarine industrial base. The US Technology Centre was established with two ARCEMY® systems in December 2024[5] and with an initial A$2.27 million order to build and supply an ARCEMY® for the Tennessee Valley Authority (‘TVA’), the largest public utility in the USA. The TVA contract marks AML3D’s entry into the US energy and utilities market.
Cumulatively, to date, AML3D has secured contracts, primarily with the US Navy and Navy prime suppliers, totaling over A$19 million.
Supporting AUKUS with supply of US Navy Virginia Class submarine components
The advantages of AML3D’s ARCEMY technology were clearly demonstrated with the delivery, over a 5-week period of US Navy’s Virginia Class submarine tailpiece components[6] that traditional manufacturing suppliers required 17 months to complete. The Copper-Nickel tail piece components are undergoing testing and will be in service onboard a Virginia-Class submarine.
This tailpieces order demonstrates how ARCEMY components can match, if not exceed, traditional manufacturing quality standards, can massively improve US Navy Maritime Industrial Base supply chain efficiency and help to establish a resilient and responsive manufacturing base to support the AUKUS defence partnership between the US, the UK and Australia.
AML3D’s contribution to the US Navy’s Virginia class nuclear submarine program was recognised in January 2025 by the U.S. Program Executive Office Attack Submarines, Admiral Jonathan Rucker, following the order to supply tailpiece components.
Speaking in advance of the Submarine League Conference7 in November 2024, Admiral Rucker commented “Through partnerships like the one with AML3D, we are creating resiliency and robustness domestically as well as in critical areas of Naval operation, ”
US Defence relationships and advocacy
Alongside the US Navy’s LOI, the investment in Stow is underpinned by the Manufacturing License Agreement[8] between AML3D and US Navy procurement partner Blue Forge Alliance ( BFA ’). BFA is tasked with accelerating the US Navy’s adoption of advanced manufacturing ( AM ’) technologies. In September 2024, BFA was awarded US$951 million by the US government in September 2024 to boost US Navy manufacturing, including scaling additive manufacturing capacity and capabilities. In December 2024 AML3D announced plans to invest a further A$12 million[9] to more than double capacity and ensure AML3D USA is well positioned to lead the transition to additive manufacturing in the US.
In March and May of 2025, AML3D undertook US advocacy programs[1011] , which included site visits that revealed the opportunity to triple the addressable US Navy market by suppling WAM[®] technology and solutions in support of the wider US Maritime Industrial Base ( MIB ’) that includes surface ships, missiles and submarines.
US Government advocacy
To boost MIB manufacturing the US Government is prioritising accelerating manufacturing over the costs for shipbuilding. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is recognised as a key driver of strategic manufacturing capability. AML3D’s

WAM[®] technology is recognised as part of the AM solutions that are integral to the US Government’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2025 and into 2026.
The US SHIPS Act[12] has the aim of creating a fleet of 250 US ships within 10 years and the US SPEED Act[13] promotes the acceleration of US defense procurement processes and both are currently being presented to US law makers. As part of AML3D’s ‘US Scale up’ senior executives have been engaging with key partners and opinion leaders amongst the US Department of Defence, the MIB supply chain and elected US representatives.
Expanded opportunities within the US Army and the Marine Corps
AML3D’s US advocacy program revealed broad recognition amongst KOL of the Company’s unique capability to support U.S. defence manufacturing and the KOL’s are actively promoting and accelerating additive manufacturing programs. The establishment of the MIB, by AML3D USA Board member Mr. Frederick J Stefany in February 2024, has created an immediate tripling of AML3D’s addressable US Defence market[14] . The MIB includes an early adopter of AML3D’s WAM[®] technology, the US Navy’s Submarine Industrial Base ( SIB ’). AML3D’s success supporting the SIB is expected to translate to opportunities to support surface ships, aircraft carriers and munitions, such as missiles.
AML3D’s US advocacy program has also highlighted opportunities for WAM[®] technology to support vehicle, artillery and missile programs across the US Army and Marine Corps. AML3D is also exploring opportunities to develop a pilot program for containerized, easily portable and easy to deploy at, or close to, the point of need ARCEMY[®] systems with the US Marine Corps.
Collaboration with Austal as a US Navy Prime supplier
This strong endorsement for AML3D’s advanced AM solutions within the MIB is expected to drive demand for ARCEMY[®] Systems across the US Navy’s Prime suppliers. AML3D is targeting near-term sales with existing Navy prime customer, Austal, as well as Huntington Ingalls.
AML3D is also collaborating with Austal on ways to flex ARCEMY[®] system configurations to allow maximum effectiveness across Austal’s existing and new facilities. This collaboration is expected to form the basis for a longerterm partnership with Austal that may include the development of a multi ARCEMY[®] array of systems to create AM printing at scale to support Naval shipyards.
Embedding ARCEMY within US Defense Manufacturing Training Programs
A key consideration for the rapid adoption of AML3D’s WAM[®] technology within US Shipbuilding is the availability of access to skilled AM workers. AML3D is engaging with both the State of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Learning & Research (IALR) and the US Navy’s Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing (ATDM) program[15] to accelerate training of AM workers for the US Navy and broader manufacturing industry. Both programs have embraced ARCEMY[®] , creating an opportunity to secure AML3D as the gold standard for the new AM workforce.
European expansion supports AUKUS partner the UK.
AML3D also has allocated A$5 million of capital to explore expanding its ACREMY manufacturing footprint into Europe[16] . The planned European manufacturing base will launch with an ARCEMY system that will help improve defence supply chains for AUKUS partner, the UK, and provide support to additional, significant European Defence markets.

AML3D has a UK defence alloy test contract in place with BAE Systems for the supply of 8.5 tonnes of Nickel Aluminium Bronze (‘NAB’) wire feedstock[17] . The BAE systems contract, which includes the manufacture and delivery of NAB test blocks and a confidential part to UK defence specifications, has a total valued of A$1.48 million. Alongside the production of NAB test blocks, AML3D is completing a confidential component manufacturing order for a UK defence prime supplier. Entry into the U.K. Defence market is a key part of the next phase of AML3D’s growth strategy.
R&D Investment
AML3D continues to invest in Research and Development to retain the competitive advantage of being a leader in advanced Wire Arc Manufacturing. In the June 2025 quarter AML3D invested close to $0.8 million, including capital additions, on R&D, with a focus on the ADIR project to increase ARCEMY deposition rates to accelerate component production.
The total budget for the ADIR project is A$2.24 million, with 50% of total funding provided by the SA Government including $186,000 received in the March quarter and a further claim of $390,000 in Q1FY26.
FINANCIAL UPDATE
AML3D is announcing cash receipts of A$2.9 million in the June quarter, contributing to total Financial Year 2025 cash receipts of $8.7 million up 4% on pcp.
AML3D’s June quarter spend of $448,000 on R&D brings the total R&D investment for Financial Year 2025 to $1.1 million. Combined with $0.7 million in capital equipment for the AIRD project, AML3D has committed close to $2 million in R&D for FY25.
In addition to the capital investment in R&D, a further $1.0 million to support US manufacturing contributing to property, plant and equipment investment for the Financial Year 2025 to $2.1 million.
The company’s cash position remains extremely strong at A$30.4 million on 30 June 2025. AML3D retains the balance sheet strength to fund the company’s A$12 million plan to more than double US manufacturing and A$5 million plan to establish a European manufacturing and technology centre.
OUTLOOK
AML3D’s ‘US Scale Up’ strategy has already delivered a surge in US Navy contracts for the deployment of ARCEMY[®] systems and associated alloy and component testing and characterisation. As key part of the US Scale up strategy is proactive engagement with key stakeholders and opinion leaders. This ongoing engagement has already translated to a LOI from the US Navy outlining a $150 - $200 million opportunity to support the MIB[18] .
The passing of the Trump administrations ‘Big Beautiful Bill’[19] ís expected to expedite US Government funding for the US Navy MIB. This is expected to drive an acceleration in US Defence contract wins in the second half of calendar 2025. AML3D has good line of sight to near term ARCEMY[®] system sales to US Navy Primes and there is strong medium to long term demand signals from the US Navy, Marine Corps and Army. The establishment of AML3D’s US
manufacturing facility means AML3D can easily scale up to meet US defence demand and broader demand to support the AUKUS defence pact between the US, Australia and the UK. The company also has additional capacity at its existing Australian facilities, which will be augmented by the establishment of a European technology centre, to meet demand surges.
