other divisions are available to the

Shipbuilding Division—including a well equipped Heavy Machine Shop and a large Stress Relieving Fur- nace.

The shipyard has been using the

AUTOKON CAD/CAM system for steel definition and manufacturing since 1970, and in late 1983, pur- chased the latest interactive AU-

TOKON modules that will serve for both engineering .and manufactur- ing.

Housed in a new CAD/CAM facil- ity, containing 12 terminals and lo- cated adjacent to the drawing of- fices, MIL has one of the most pow- erful CAD/CAM facilities for ship- building.

Apart from the design and draft- ing capabilities, MIL also uses the "SPAR" planning and control mod- ules for work planning, estimating and material control, etc.

The CAD/CAM software from

GE, called CALMA is also being used in the shipyard, but more spe- cifically for the Hydro-Electric Di- vision at this time.
