Lincoln Electric's Mission to 3D Print Components for Nuclear Submarines
The United States Navy faces a significant challenge: delivering one Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine and two Virginia-class attack submarines each year by 2028, while maintaining its existing fleet.
To meet this goal, the Navy's Maritime Industrial Base Program is investing in Lincoln Electric to integrate Additive Manufacturing (AM) into submarine construction.
The responsibility falls to the Maritime Industrial Base (MIB), established in 2024 to revitalize America’s shipbuilding and repair capabilities.
Achieving these production targets will require innovative solutions to reduce bottlenecks, increase throughput, and strengthen supply chains.
Author's summary: Lincoln Electric integrates AM into submarine construction.
