About AML3D
Leading Industry Innovation
AML3D is at the forefront of the additive manufacturing revolution, utilising cutting-edge technologies to redefine the art of the possible. We partner with clients worldwide to unlock their Industry 4.0 and 5.0 potential, empowering them to compete and thrive on the international stage.
Our Company
AML3D combines a deep understanding of state-of-the-art welding science, robotics automation, materials engineering, and proprietary software to produce an automated 3D printing system operating in a freeform environment. This enables fast and efficient manufacture of components and structures using our patented Wire Additive Manufacturing process, which is more cost-effective and has increased strength compared to traditional casting, forging or billet manufacturing methods.
AML3D was founded in 2014 by Executive Director and CTO Andy Sales after many years working with traditional arc welding processes he came across a method using these arc welding techniques to build freeform solid metal objects, which he realised could provide the potential to replace conventional manufacturing techniques. Inspired and determined to take the concept further, Andy researched and developed the tools and processes to enhance what was becoming known as Wire-arc Additive Manufacturing.
Supported by an Entrepreneur's program, Andy worked towards establishing a pilot facility to test the designed systems and software to demonstrate the commercial viability of the technology. The additive manufacturing systems used in the pilot facility have developed into the large-scale metal 3D printer known as ARCEMY®. During this time, several proof-of-concept projects were completed including focused milestones on Quality procedures and developing resultant materials property data, leading to further software development, know-how and improvement of process procedures. Accredititations followed including ISO9001 Quality Management Systems (QMS) Certification and AML3D becoming the world’s first accredited wire-feedstock Additive Manufacturing Facility through Lloyd’s Register by mid 2018. Since then, AML3D has received DNV Approved Maritime Manufacturer certification and is the first additive manufacturing service provider to achieve both certifications.
April 2020 saw AML3D debut on the Australian Stock Exchange as ASX:AL3. The capital raised allowed for the facilitation and acceleration of AML3D's growth into global markets, with the company since engaged by some of the worlds largest companies.
Today, AML3D has the world's largest, open-air, production-ready, metal 3D printers commercially available on the market.
