Velo3D and Aurelia Technologies have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at advancing the use of additive manufacturing in next-generation gas turbine systems. This collaboration comes as the industry seeks innovative solutions to enhance design efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen supply chain resilience.
What Happened
Velo3D, a leader in metal additive manufacturing technology, and Aurelia Technologies, known for its expertise in energy systems, have announced a strategic partnership to leverage Velo3D's advanced printing capabilities for the production of gas turbine components. The partnership is part of Aurelia's continuous improvement strategy, which focuses on design consolidation, faster iteration, and long-term cost reduction. By utilizing Velo3D's proprietary technology, Aurelia aims to streamline the production of complex turbine parts, potentially reducing the number of components and assembly time required.
The partnership was announced on June 9, 2026, and represents a significant step forward in the application of 3D printing technology within the energy sector. Velo3D's technology allows for the creation of intricate geometries that are difficult or impossible to produce with traditional manufacturing methods, offering a new level of design freedom and efficiency.
What This Means for Your Business
For businesses in the AECM sector, this partnership signals a shift towards more agile manufacturing processes that can adapt to changing demands and reduce dependency on traditional supply chains. The integration of Velo3D's additive manufacturing solutions could lead to shorter lead times, reduced inventory costs, and enhanced product performance, all of which are critical for maintaining competitive advantage.
Contractors and suppliers working with gas turbine systems should consider the potential impacts on procurement strategies, as the use of additive manufacturing may alter the landscape of component sourcing. Compliance with emerging standards in manufacturing, such as CMMC and NIST, will remain crucial as these technologies evolve.
What US Operators Should Watch
Key dates and opportunities for industry professionals include tracking advancements in additive manufacturing technologies and their integration into existing production lines. Operators should stay informed about upcoming federal funding opportunities that support innovation in manufacturing processes, as well as any regulatory changes that may impact compliance requirements.
As the partnership between Velo3D and Aurelia Technologies develops, AECM professionals should monitor the implementation of these new manufacturing techniques and consider how similar strategies could benefit their own operations.
