AT SEA, USS WASP (LHD-1), PACIFIC OCEAN - A 3-D printer belonging to Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, prints tangible objects aboard the USS Wasp (LHD-1) while underway in the Pacific Ocean, March 22, 2018. Marines with CLB-31 are now capable of ‘additive manufacturing,’ also known as 3-D printing, which is the technique of replicating digital 3-D models as tangible objects. The 31st MEU partners with the Navy’s Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Pacific.
