Shares of Velo3D (VELO) jumped more than 5% on Monday after the company secured a $9.8 million, five-year contract from the Department of War to support a metal manufacturing program aimed at speeding up production timelines for critical U.S. military components.

Under the agreement, Velo3D will produce complex components using its advanced metal printing technology, helping address supply chain gaps. The Joint Additive Manufacturing Acceptability (JAMA) Pilot Parts Program is designed to accelerate the adoption of 3D-printed components and establish standardized processes and clear approval pathways for additively manufactured spare and replacement parts.

This comes just weeks after the company secured a multi-year production agreement with a major U.S. defense contractor, a deal valued at $11.5 million.
