Evaluation of Model Based Engineering (MBE) and Advanced Forming Technology for Complex Hull Manufacturing

  • Evaluation of Model Based Engineering (MBE) and Advanced Forming Technology for Complex Hull Manufacturing
Overview

Evaluation of Model Based Engineering (MBE) and Advanced Forming Technology for Complex Hull Manufacturing (2012-462)

Project Team:

  • Edison Welding Institute
  • Newport News Shipbuilding
  • Ingalls Shipbuilding
  • Bollinger Shipyards

2012

NSRP ASE Investment: $148K

Objective:

This project sought to provide information on the roadmaps to further develop and deploy two recommended forming technologies, line array roll set (LARS) forming and automated thermal plate forming (ATPF) with the model-based engineering (MBE) tools, to the U.S. Shipbuilding industry. Both LARS and ATPF technologies were found to be highly productive and efficient methods that can be used to produce various types of ship hull plate geometries. It is expected that successful implementation of these technologies can yield a significant reduction of manufacturing costs related to labor hours and rework experienced in current manual thermal forming.

Key Deliverables:

Request Final Report from NSRP – Limited Distribution authorized to the U.S. shipbuilding and repair industry and NSRP ASE Program representatives

  National Shipbuilding Research Program: Taking shipbuilding and repair to the next level NSRP is co-funded by the U.S. Shipbuilding Industry and U.S. Navy
