# AML3D receives Letter of Intent from US Navy

[AML3D, a developer of industrial metal 3D printing technology](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/aml3d/), has received a Letter of Intent (LOI) outlining the US Navy’s plans to collaborate with the company on several key additive manufacturing initiatives. The LOI highlights AML3D’s role supporting the [US Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base (MIB)](https://www.voxelmatters.com/eos-additive-minds-offers-u-s-navy-funded-training-to-mib-suppliers/) program’s expansion into surface ships and in-service support. It focuses on AML3D’s ability to support materials characterization, parts manufacturing, and supply of large-scale [ARCEMY metal 3D printing systems](https://www.voxelmatters.com/aml3d-brings-largest-custom-arcemy-system-online/).

The LOI includes MIB demand study findings that, following materials characterization, a minimum of ~400 parts will need to be 3D printed in 2026, which is expected to ramp up to ~1,600 parts by 2030. The MIB demand study also shows AML3D’s ARCEMY systems are pivotal in meeting the need to install up to one hundred new AM systems across the industrial base. The US Navy also plans to regularly update AML3D with potential demand forecasts to inform [the company’s planned expansion of US operations](https://www.voxelmatters.com/aml3d-opens-us-facility-to-bolster-aukus-defense-manufacturing/).

“We are excited about the prospect of working together to drive [advancements in AM for the Navy](https://www.voxelmatters.com/us-navy-delivers-2000-3d-printed-tools/). We look forward to discussing these opportunities in more detail and exploring how we can leverage AML3D's expertise to achieve mutual success. Thank you for the excellent collaboration to date," said Matthew D Evans, Deputy Program Manager for Ships at the US Navy's Maritime Industrial Base.

“Key to [AML3D’s successful US growth strategy](https://www.voxelmatters.com/aml3d-appoints-frederick-j-stefany-to-board-of-directors/) is our ability to support the US Navy’s additive manufacturing needs and our strong relationships within the US Navy Maritime Industrial Base. We are looking forward to continuing to build these relationships, to working with the US Navy to meet the surging demand for additive manufacturing identified in the Letter of Intent, and continuing our strong investment in our US manufacturing capability. AML3D is excited to play such a pivotal role supporting the US Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base for the benefit of all stakeholders," said Sean Ebert, CEO of AML3D.
