Aurora Labs (ASX:A3D) has announced the launch of its advanced 3D printing machine, designed to produce micro gas turbines for aerospace applications using a specialized ‘super nickel’ alloy.

The cutting-edge machine utilizes Inconel 625, a nickel-chromium alloy renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance and strength. This alloy is commonly employed in applications such as propeller blades and subsea internet cables.

In April, the company successfully printed a functional mini gas turbine, with ambitions for these small engines to power UAVs, or airborne drones. The new industrial-scale 3D printer, manufactured and operated in Perth, Australia, aims to enhance the production of these turbines.

Aurora Labs has recently shifted focus towards defense contracts, reflecting a strategic pivot in its business model.

The new AL250 3D printer represents a significant leap in industrial printing technology. It is expected to address the growing demand for specialized materials, as the company expands its capabilities and scales up production for the defense sector.

“The AL250 3D printer marks a substantial advancement for our industrial printing service,” stated Aurora CEO Rebekah Letheby. “It excels at producing intricate, mid-sized geometries, making it a crucial addition to our expanding print service.”
