Aurora (A3D) is gearing up to launch its “world-first” 1500-watt AL250 commercial 3D laser printer within the next 12 months.
The company said the device would be the first of its kind to provide benefits such as single and dual laser options, “best-in-class” optics for optimal use of 1500-watt lasers, and customised power handling.
The company will first market the product to local industrial customers in the energy and resources sectors as well as the defence and research sectors before launching global marketing efforts.
Aurora CEO Peter Snowsill said the company was confident the AL250 would produce robust, high-productivity printing.
“We are excited by the strength of our initial commercial printer offering, the AL250, and the incorporation of distinctive features to progress high productivity printing for industrial, defence and research customers,” Mr Snowsill said.
The design-for-manufacture process has already begun, and A3D is focussing on the specification of sub-systems, system interfaces and assembly requirements for the AL250.
The company has two functional prototypes, Alpha 2 and Beta, successfully demonstrating high laser power and meeting draft S&E international aerospace standards.
Aurora has received a formal defence readiness report from the office of defence industry services to aid in aligning product offerings with defence priorities and has increased its engagement with universities across Australia.
Aurora will work with global suppliers before procuring sub-systems from local manufacturers for assembly and testing at its site in Canning Vale, Perth.
