Objective:
The overall goal of this project was to improve the process of shipboard electrical component mounting using shot studs with mounting hole locations and shot studs executed through shoot through templates. The effort would leverage 3D product model with shoot-through templates in the manufacturing process. Allow earlier and easier installation of mounting studs, prior to blast and coat; and allow areas of the ship to have studs shot without needing equipment on site as early.
