AML3D Limited (ASX: AL3) (“AML3D” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments for a share placement to raise $7.0 million (before costs) through the issue of ~15.5 million shares in the Company (the “Placement”). The Placement was heavily bid, supported by a range of new and existing institutional, family office, sophisticated and professional investors.

AML3D has continued to experience strong demand for its services, with a growing number of customers, across various sectors, progressing towards commercial manufacturing contracts. The funds raised from the Placement will ensure AML3D is well capitalised to accelerate and execute upon these large-scale customer opportunities without detracting from the key initiatives detailed in the prospectus.

“We are very pleased with the strong support AML3D has received from new and existing shareholders, who share our vision of deploying advanced, Industry 4.0 manufacturing technologies globally. The funds raised from this Placement will enable AML3D to accelerate and execute its various business development initiatives, which will provide a platform for further growth and continue to establish AML3D as an industry leader.”

Use of Funds

AML3D will purchase and commission additional production modules to increase the Company’s production capacity at its Adelaide facility to satisfy anticipated upcoming demand.

AML3D also intends to increase its headcount in line with the demands of the business. It is anticipated that the Company will employ engineers, designers and manufacturing assistants. These additional resources will provide a strong base for AML3D to scale significantly.

The remaining Placement funds (excluding costs) will be applied to pursue and execute large contracts, which have medium-to-long lead-times.

It is important to note, the funds raised via AML3D’s IPO have been and will continue to be utilised as per the Prospectus, which includes facility relocation and expansion (partially complete), establishment of Singapore facility, R&D initiatives and working capital.
