Interesting Engineering is a cutting edge, leading community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science.
In collaboration with HLL and General Dynamics Electric Boat, the U.S. Navy has successfully 3D printed and installed a crucial piece of one of its nuclear submarines.
General Dynamics Electric Boat , and Huntington Ingalls Industries Newport News Shipbuilding division have announced that they've successfully managed to 3D print a replacement part for the US Navy's Virginia-class submarinethat directs seawater from the deck into the submarine's bilges. The part was printed out of copper-nickel and is a huge leap towards on-demand parts for repairing and servicing US maritime assets in the future.
“As a leader in additive manufacturing for shipbuilding, we are aggressively looking for opportunities to incorporate this technology into mainstream shipbuilding,” said Dave Bolcar, NNS vice president of engineering and design. “This collaborative project leverages authorizations made by the Navy that streamline requirements for low-risk additive manufacturing parts.
