3-D Printing Technology makes it possible to construct [Blank] objects from [Blank] 3-D objects. Recently, NSWC Carderock made a fabricated [Blank] of the hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) using its 3-D printer, first uploading CAD drawings of ship model in it. The prospect of using 3-D printers to make [Blank] parts used as replacement of ship's part for repairing purpose is being investigated.
