260717-N-JC439- NORFOLK (July 17, 2026) Machinist Mate 2nd Class Amellaly Sunekaer (left), Machinist's Mate 1st Class Rachel Lyell (center), and Machine Repairman 2nd Class Nickolas Myers (right) pose for a photo in front of a LASERTEC 65 3D Printing Machine. This hybrid additive manufacturing system combines 5-axis milling with laser Directed Energy Deposition (DED). It allows warfighting units to rapidly manufacture or repair critical parts, reducing turnaround times and enhancing fleet readiness. The U.S. Navy reestablished SIMA commands in Norfolk and San Diego in June. The reestablishment directly supports the Navy's vision of utilizing a responsive, Sailor-led force to optimize materiel readiness while building Sailors' technical expertise and fleet self-sufficiency.
