A week later, the ministry decided to fix new dates for the conduct of primary eight examinations for the pupils that had missed out on the initial exams.
New Generation 3D Printed Propeller Certified By Bureau Veritas
Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification, has certified a new-generation 3D printed propeller manufactured by Naval Group.
With its 2.5-metre span supported by five 200-kg blades, Naval Group manufactured this new-generation propeller thanks to a metal 3D printing process. Mounted on a Tripartite-class minehunter, the propeller will now accompany the ship on all of its operational missions. The propeller is a technological achievement, as the largest metal 3D-printed propeller ever manufactured, and the first one made using additive manufacturing technology to equip a military ship in operation.

Naval Group manufactured a new-generation propeller via a metal 3D printing process, mounted on a tripartite minehunter.
This propeller is 2.5-m in diameter, supported by five 200-kg blades. The equipment left the workshops of the Naval Group site of Nantes-Indret in October 2020 for the site of Brest in order to be mounted on the ship s propeller shaft. As part of its major technical stop, the assembly was transferred to the submarine base to be mounted on the intermediate shaft of the Andromède in November. Sea trials were then performed successfully at the end of December.
