Our Expeditionary Manufacturing Unit (EMU) recently completed its first ever deployment at sea. ⚓

During RIMPAC 2026, one EMU operated aboard the MV Asterix while underway, producing mission-critical metal parts on an open deck and in heavy seas, supported by a second system stationed at the Knoxville Armory, providing a global reachback manufacturing capability.

Working with CAMRE at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory (ARL), the Tennessee Army National Guard, and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) Defense Development and Applied Research Center (DARC), our cold spray systems produced 32 mission-critical metal parts for participating forces across a distributed manufacturing network spanning ship and shore.

Working through a Partnership Intermediary Agreement with Fleetwerx, CAMRE NPS deployed more than 50 advanced manufacturing technologies across the exercise, designed to deliver mission-critical readiness parts in days rather than months.

As our CEO, Byron Kennedy, put it: "That is what it means to bring production to the fight."

"If you end up in a position where you can't manufacture the chemicals, the pumps, and the equipment you need to keep a city alive, then ultimately, the people who do make that are in charge, and you are beholden to them."

Our CTO, Steven Camilleri, recently sat down with News24's Matt Cunningham to discuss his Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) report, 'Make Stuff Here... or Else', and what it means for the country if it continues to depend on others for critical production capability.

Published earlier this year, the 'Make Stuff Here... or Else' report sets out a practical framework for deciding which capabilities Australia must be able to produce, repair, or regenerate at home, and which it can safely source from trusted partners.

While the report reflects Steven's views as its author, we think it's a serious contribution to a debate that matters for the country, and we'd encourage anyone focused on industrial resilience to read it.

The Expeditionary Manufacturing Unit's (EMU) first deployment at sea. 🌊

SPEE3D's EMU is aboard the MV Asterix as part of the Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research and Education (CAMRE) at the Naval Postgraduate School's RIMPAC 2026 advanced manufacturing network, in partnership with Fleetwerx.

All aboard for RIMPAC 2026. ⚓

The SPEE3D Expeditionary Manufacturing Unit (EMU) is aboard the MV Asterix, part of a distributed advanced manufacturing network of more than 50 manufacturing nodes led by the Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research and Education at the Naval Postgraduate School, in partnership with Fleetwerx.

We're honoured to be part of this effort, helping to put metal part production at the point of need, rather than at the end of a supply chain.

Our co-founder and CTO Steven Camilleri has authored a new report published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI): Make stuff here … or else. Read it here 👉 https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0ZRkJ0

It sets out a practical framework, the 'sovereignty countdown', for deciding which capabilities a nation must be able to produce, repair or regenerate at home, and which it can safely source from trusted partners.

While the report reflects Steven's views as its author, we think it's a serious contribution to a debate that matters for the country, and we'd encourage anyone working on industrial resilience to read it.

CSAT and LSAAT 2026 wrapped up last week. 👋

Thanks again to the Cold Spray Action Team for inviting us, and to Worcester Polytechnic Institute for hosting our XSPEE3D alongside other leading advanced manufacturing technologies.

We appreciate everyone who engaged with our team and took the time to learn more about our unique, automated process. We look forward to continuing to support our customers' incredible achievements in advancing the field of Cold Spray Manufacturing (CSM).

See you next time.

This week we welcomed the Multinational Armaments Resilience Seminar (MARS) 2026 cohort to our Melbourne site, representing defence and industry leaders from 16 nations across the Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic.

MARS strengthens the resilience and integration of multinational defence and industrial bases. During their visit, the cohort saw firsthand how SPEE3D's deployable Cold Spray Manufacturing (CSM) technology delivers production at the point of need.

Thanks to everyone who joined us. We're excited to keep exploring how advanced manufacturing can power the future of multinational defence collaboration.

What a line up 👀

A huge thank you to everyone who came by to see our XSPEE3D metal 3D printer in action at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It was wonderful to show you our Cold Spray Manufacturing (CSM) technology up close, producing quality metal parts on demand, on site.

If you're joining us for the final day at LSAAT 2026 today, don't miss our CTO Steven Camilleri presenting Developments in Large Format Cold Spray AM at 8:40am. Well worth tuning in!

See you there. 👋
