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.
