of equipment from small to large-format metal 3D printers , like the LightSPEE3D and WarpSPEE3D , and deployable solutions such as the XSPEE3D .
XSPEE3D
Drawing on direct collaborations and feedback from field trials with the Australian Army , SPEE3D identified a clear need for a deployable metal additive manufacturing capability that could simplify logistics and address the challenge of transportability in remote locations . SPEE3D ’ s dedication to solving transportability challenges resulted in the creation of the XSPEE3D - a ruggedized , containerized metal 3D printer housed within a standard shipping container . This design choice capitalizes on the international standardization of shipping containers for ease of transport via land , sea , or air , allowing XSPEE3D to be moved seamlessly , even to the most challenging terrains .
In addition to manufacturing equipment , SPEE3D offers software for efficient CADto-file preparation ( Twinspeed ) and robust support services including installation , commissioning , user training , applications assistance , field exercise support , and equipment maintenance packages .

Transformative impact : case studies from defense
SPEE3D ’ s technology has already made significant inroads in various sectors , from commercial research and development to defense , demonstrating its versatility and effectiveness .
For the defense industry SPEE3D delivers the metal AM ( Additive Manufacturing ) technology needed to safely , rapidly manufacture cast-equivalent spare metal
parts on-site and on-demand . This allows a defense force to accelerate battle damage repair from weeks and months to hours and days .
Three main elements of SPEE3D ’ s solution set it apart for defense customers : proximity , speed , and simplicity . It delivers on-site , containerized metal manufacturing proven to operate in remote , austere environments . It is also the industry ’ s fastest metal manufacturing technology and by eliminating the need for lasers or inert gases , complex infrastructure , or extensive training the technology is simple enough for technicians in the field to operate the equipment quickly and safely .
SPEE3D ’ s journey in the defense sector began in 2019 , when the Royal Australian Navy embarked on a $ 1.5 million trial of CSAM technology . The navy was keen to explore
