Advanced Manufacturing Australia

What Advanced Manufacturing Australia does

Advanced Manufacturing Australia (AMA), trading as Elliott Industries Pty Ltd (ACN 618 593 598), is a Sydney-based bespoke additive manufacturing service provider. The company operates a 3D printing bureau built on Markforged industrial platforms, producing parts in composite and metal filaments for clients across motorsport, transport, machinery, technology, aerospace, and defence verticals. The business runs with a small team of approximately 8 employees and is structured as a direct-sales service bureau with no disclosed minimum order quantity. AMA is positioned as a low-volume, high-mix supplier of end-use parts, prototypes, and replacement components for legacy or discontinued items, with a particular emphasis on motorsport and industrial applications.

The technology stack is anchored to Markforged's composite and metal 3D printing systems, supplemented by ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification and ISO/IEC 27001 information security posture inherited through the Markforged partnership. Publicly disclosed case studies illustrate production of motorsport intake manifold components for MOITS Racing and work for IM Composite Technologies, alongside a 2024 washroom platform component project demonstrating capability outside the core motorsport base. The company offers design assistance, prototyping, low-volume production, and replacement part manufacturing, with quotes generated on a per-project basis.

The business model is a direct, quote-based service bureau model targeting Australian industrial and motorsport customers. AMA does not disclose revenue, funding history, or formal headcount growth metrics, and operates without publicly announced external capital. Pricing is project-based with no stated minimum order, allowing the business to serve both prototype-stage clients and small-batch production runs. The combination of certified quality systems, Markforged technology access, and multi-vertical positioning suggests an aspiration to move up-market into aerospace and defence procurement panels, though current demonstrated scale remains modest.

Direct peers

• Xometry: AI-driven on-demand manufacturing marketplace with strong 3D printing, CNC and sheet metal offerings. Competes with AMA for low-volume, custom industrial part orders across multiple verticals including aerospace and defence.
• Shapeways: Pure-play 3D printing service bureau offering on-demand production across plastics and metals. Comparable business model to AMA but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Stratasys Direct Manufacturing: Dedicated additive manufacturing service bureau from Stratasys operating FDM, PolyJet and metal AM. Directly comparable as an industrial 3D printing service bureau serving aerospace, automotive and industrial customers.
• Protolabs: Global on-demand digital manufacturing service bureau offering CNC, injection moulding, sheet metal and additive manufacturing. Directly comparable to AMA as a low-MOQ, rapid-turnaround parts provider serving similar end markets including motorsport and aerospace.
• Hubs (Protolabs Network): Global on-demand manufacturing platform offering CNC, 3D printing and injection moulding with instant quoting. A direct competitor in the low-MOQ custom parts space that AMA addresses.

Others

• Markforged: AMA's primary technology vendor whose printers, materials and software underpin AMA's service offering. Not a direct competitor but the dominant enabler — and a potential direct competitor if Markforged expands its own on-demand services footprint in Australia.

Regional players

• Titomic: Australian-headquartered metal additive manufacturing company using cold spray kinetic fusion. A regional peer that competes for Australian aerospace, defence and industrial AM work.
• Quickstep Holdings: Australian advanced composites manufacturer serving aerospace and defence. Operates in an adjacent technology category (composites) and competes for similar Australian aerospace and defence customers.

Emerging players

• Velo3D: Metal additive manufacturing specialist focused on aerospace and defence parts with complex geometries. An emerging competitor in the industrial metal AM service space that AMA targets with its metal filament capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• 3D Systems On-Demand: Broad incumbent in industrial 3D printing that, like Stratasys, operates an on-demand services arm alongside its hardware business. Provides additive manufacturing services competing with AMA in plastics and metals.
