MCDONALD, Tenn., July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amaero Ltd (ASX:3DA) (OTCQB: AMROF) (鈥淎maero鈥� or the 鈥淐ompany鈥�), a leading U.S. domestic producer of high-value C103, refractory alloy, and titanium powders for additive and advanced manufacturing of components utilized by the defense, space, and aviation industries, is pleased to announce that the Company has entered a technical development collaboration with Auburn University鈥檚 National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME)1. Additionally, recent printing and testing of Amaero鈥檚 C103 and Ti64 (or Ti-6AI-4V) powder by NCAME has demonstrated that the powders conform with industry accepted standards and based on Auburn鈥檚 testing and certification, Amaero has satisfied Velo3D鈥檚 qualification condition2.
The technical development collaboration with Auburn University鈥檚 NCAME will leverage Amaero鈥檚 advanced gas atomisation technology and its proprietary atomisation know-how with NCAME鈥檚 extensive additive manufacturing and analysis expertise to assist with ongoing powder characterisation and continuous improvement efforts.
The first projects, which were recently completed, include NCAME demonstrating that material printed with Amaero鈥檚 C103 powder conforms with ASTM F3635, Class B (with 2200oF Nb heat treat cycle) and that material printed from Amaero鈥檚 Ti64 powder conforms to the AMS7015 and ASTM F3001 international standards3.
NCAME鈥檚 testing of Amaero鈥檚 C103 and Ti64 and certification of conformity with industry accepted standards satisfies Velo3D鈥檚 qualification condition. As such, Amaero has received initial purchase orders Velo3D, including 500 kg of C103 powder to be shipped in Q1 FY2026 and 500 kg of Ti64 powder to be shipped in Q1 FY2026.
Hank J. Holland, Amaero Chairman and CEO, commented, 鈥淎maero has commissioned the most advanced atomisation technology and has assembled a technical team with pioneering experience and proprietary know-how for gas atomisation of refractory and titanium alloys. As we commence atomisation of development refractory alloys, integrate continuous improvement initiatives, scale production and look to further improve the unit cost economics, Auburn University鈥檚 NCAME will be an invaluable partner.
To achieve the potential of metal additive manufacturing, it鈥檚 important that we have a vibrant domestic manufacturing and supply chain ecosystem that includes domestic 3D printing OEM, high throughput and technically proficient part manufacturers and scalable, high quality, cost competitive spherical powder production.
Amaero is doing its part. We have commissioned the largest scale and the lowest cost U.S. domestic production of C103, refractory, and titanium alloy spherical powders with traceability of feedstock.
Velo3D has led pioneering innovation for large-format, metal 3D printing machines with fully integrated hardware and software that鈥檚 鈥淢ade in USA.鈥� SpaceX鈥檚 adoption of Velo3D鈥檚 Sapphire machine as its sole printing technology is case in point.
With Velo3D鈥檚 qualification condition satisfied, we expect to begin shipments of C103 and Ti64 in the current quarter. Also, I鈥檓 pleased to share that we are already collaborating on a separate commercial opportunity with another refractory alloy.鈥�
Dr. Arun Jeldi, Velo3D CEO, commented, 鈥淰elo3D lauds the recent milestone achievement between Amaero and Auburn University鈥檚 National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME). The close collaboration between Amaero and Auburn University鈥檚 NCAME has demonstrated Amaero鈥檚 powder conformance with additive manufacturing industry standards. As a result of Amaero鈥檚 accelerated achievement, we are excited to announce that under the Velo3D 鈥� Amaero strategic partnership, a 1000 kg of Niobium C103 and Titanium powder will arrive on the Velo3D production floor in Q3 CY2025 to support critical projects in the aerospace and defense industries.鈥�

3 AMS7015 and ASTM F3001 are both aerospace and additive manufacturing standards, but they address different aspects. AMS7015 details requirements for Titanium 6-Aluminum 4-Vanadium (Ti-6AI-4V or Ti64) powder used in additive manufacturing processes. ASTM F3001 focuses on the broader aspects of additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitials) components, including material classification, manufacturing processes, and quality requirements.
