Posted on by

The intention to create a new generation printer and launch it into serial production was announced at the NDExpo-2017 forum by Alexey Dub, Deputy Chief Director of Science and Innovations JSC, which is part of the state corporation Rosatom. Oak noted that additive technologies are developing very quickly, so it would be very useful to have in your arsenal developments that allow you to easily, quickly, efficiently and inexpensively produce complex three-dimensional objects.

The deputy head of Science and Innovation explained that he primarily refers to printers capable of printing structures made of metal powders, but he did not rule out the possibility of using Russian developments in three-dimensional printing in other areas, such as medicine.

At the moment, Rosatom has already released a prototype of a new generation 3D printer, which is now being tested. It is planned to complete the tests and present the first production model by the end of 2017, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the corporation’s press service.

The corporation representatives noted that the entire hardware and software complex will cost about 20 percent cheaper than foreign analogues, and the printing itself will also save money – metal powders for printing will begin to be produced in Russia.
