The most important sectoral projects, as indicated in the document, will be provided with state support. In addition, the formation of a new industry will require the adoption of modern standards and regulations, emphasized on the website of the Cabinet. At the same time, it is necessary to minimize regulatory and organizational barriers that hinder the development of exports and cooperation.

It is expected that the implementation of the strategy will increase the volume of the Russian market of additive technologies by more than three times and will become an additional incentive for the innovative development of the domestic economy.

The development strategy of additive technologies will have a significant impact on the transformation of the appearance of domestic industry. The successful introduction of 3D printing technologies allows you to reduce the time for bringing new products to the market by three times, by one and a half times reduce processing costs, and significantly reduce energy costs for repairing equipment and production costs, "said Denis Manturov, head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

According to the results of 2020, the volume of the Russian additive technology market is estimated at 3.5 billion rubles.^[1]
