Aurora Labs Secures Defence Grant to Boost Sovereign Manufacturing

Aurora Labs Ltd (ASX: A3D), an Australian leader in 3D metal printing and propulsion technologies, has secured an AU$ 544,333 Defence Industry Development Grant under the Sovereign Industrial Priorities Stream. This co-investment funding will be used to scale up production of micro gas turbine propulsion systems at Aurora’s Canning Vale facility. The company will acquire multi-axis CNC machines and HVAC control systems to support vertical integration of its manufacturing—from additive printing to final assembly—especially for UAV and autonomous systems. The initiative aligns with Australia’s strategic defence goals, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains and build sovereign capability. Aurora also plans to train its workforce and fulfil upcoming domestic defence contracts. CEO Rebekah Letheby highlighted the program's role in strengthening national defence autonomy. All activities under the grant are scheduled for completion by March 2026, positioning Aurora as a key player in Australia’s defence industrial landscape
