Calm water tow-tank testing of a large-scale additive manufactured (LSAM) ship model of the Arleigh-Burke class destroyer (DDG 51) runs through Carriage 1 in Carderock’s David Taylor Model Basin in West Bethesda, Md., on Aug. 31, 2023. The feasibility study led by the Surface Ship Hydromechanics Division, with the support of the Naval Innovative Science and Engineering program, is assessing the accuracy of using additively manufactured (AM) models for future experiments and will determine if AM models can withstand the typical stresses of a carriage test and match the results from the same hull design manufactured from fiberglass material.
