Rostec’s Additive Manufacturing Center (AMC) increased the output of 3D printed products by 179% or by a factor of 2.8. This was announced by Vladislav Kochkurov, General Director of AMC, during the industry-specific forum in Moscow. The “grown” products have lower weight with the required strength performance retained and are used, in particular, in new PD-14 and PD-8 aircraft engines.
Representatives of Rostec, Rosatom and Roskosmos State Corporations, top management of major manufacturers, leading scientists and developers are among the participants of the 4th Leader Forum: Additive Manufacturing - Expand Horizons. Technological development of the country in new geopolitical environment is the main topic of the event.
“Additive manufacturing has become an inherent part of modern industrial processes. The output at Rostec’s Additive Manufacturing Center has grown by 179% during 2022. Russian direct laser growing systems are extensively used for parts manufacturing, including parts for PD-8 and PD-14 aircraft engines. Further fleet replenishment with domestically made systems is planned within the investment program for 2023. In addition, we are launching a 3D printing training program together with Moscow Aviation Institute,” Said Vladislav Kochkurov, General Director of AMC.
