    Three individuals wearing face masks are posing in what appears to be a 3D printing lab or makerspace. Each person is holding a 3D-printed object, with the center person holding a larger blue and black printed item, while the two flanking individuals hold smaller gray printed objects. The background shows multiple enclosed 3D printers, including Ultimaker and MakerBot Replicator 2X models.

    Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s (NNSY) Engineering and Planning Department’s Propulsion Machinery Branch recently teamed with the NNSY Technology and Innovation Lab to design, develop and manufacture a 3D-printed stave measurement to precisely measure waterborne bearing stave widths to facilitate ship propulsion system work. NNSY’s Inside Machine Shop assisted by producing a stave standard of a known width to calibrate the jig and expedite installation jobs.
