3D. Rosatom has put nine medium-sized 3D printers into serial production. According to expert estimates, this number will meet more than 30% of demand for additive equipment from the Russian industrial sector in 2024. RusMelt printers use selective laser melting (SLM) technology. They can be produced in different versions and customized to meet individual requirements. The most sophisticated components for 3D printers, such as scanning systems and lasers, have been developed and are being manufactured by Rosatom subsidiaries. Rosatom will also provide support and maintenance for the machines throughout their service life. “The serial production of proprietary 3D printers enables Rosatom to enter both the Russian and international markets with this product and also targets priority goals in import substitution,” says Ilya Kavelashvili, CEO of Rosatom’s additive technology vendor.
