The Minister of the Government of Moscow and the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy Anatoly Garbuzov noted the relevance of the use of 3D printing in industry. According to him, additive technologies open up new opportunities for creating innovative production methods.

Dmitry Filippov, head of the Additive Engineering engineering center, stressed that the new 3D printer allows you to create large-scale products with high accuracy. The performance of the equipment can vary from several units to several thousand finished products per month, depending on their size and geometry.

The peculiarity of this printer lies in the possibility of making large parts monolithic, without the need to assemble from individual fragments, which has a positive effect on the quality of the product.

The 3D printer uses plastic thread as a raw material. It is possible to retrofit the printing device with pellets, which will increase the production speed and use secondary plastic pellets.

Since the beginning of its activities as a resident of the SEZ Technopolice Moscow, Additive Engineering has created 32 jobs. In 2024, the company has already produced more than 170 thousand unique products.

2023:23% growth in output

The company - a resident of the special economic zone (SEZ) "Technopolice Moscow" "Additive Engineering" increased the volume of produced products by 23 percent in 2023. It was possible to increase production by expanding the fleet of industrial 3D printers and introducing new printing technologies. This was announced on February 14, 2024 by the Minister of the Government of Moscow, Head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy Vladislav Ovchinsky.

Products manufactured by a resident are used in, oil and gas,, medical machine-building aviation, space and others. An industries industries increase in demand for additive technologies is also evidenced by an increase in output. So, in the three quarters of 2023, the company produced products for 118 million, which is rubles almost a quarter more than in the same period of 2022, - said Vladislav Ovchinsky.

The company's production facilities allow producing more than 20 thousand templates for eliners per month - removable orthodontic devices used to correct the position of teeth in dentistry. For their manufacture, an industrial 3D printer is used, purchased as part of the rotation of 3D equipment in 2023.

The company has been a resident of the Technopolice Moscow special economic zone since 2020. During this time, the company has improved its own production and technical complex: in 2023, the resident purchased five new industrial systems. As of February 2024, the material basis for additive technologies in production is photopolymer resin, metal powder, polyamide and polystyrene, plastic and wax. Thanks to the expansion of the equipment fleet and the growing number of commercial orders, the resident in 2023 released more than five thousand different engineering parts, - said Gennady Degtev, General Director of the Moscow Technopolice SEZ.

The 3D printer purchased in 2023, using metal as the basis for printing, allowed the company to produce twice as many complex parts: plugs, impellers, gratings, brackets and bushings than in 2022.

For the past two years, there has been a stir in additive technologies. Printing of components and parts for imported and domestic equipment, cars, equipment is in particular demand. Compared to the classic methods of manufacturing, 3D printing benefits from the creation of complex parts that are printed without glues, adhesions and unnecessary connections, which makes them especially durable. It also allows you to implement the concept of localized production and creation of parts at the site of their direct use, minimizing the need for long and complex supply chains. This approach also contributes to the growth of the domestic market for additive technologies, - said the CEO of the company Ashhen Hovsepyan.

2022: Expanding the fleet of equipment to increase the production of engineering parts

The resident of the special economic zone (SEZ) "Technopolice Moscow" - the company "Additive Engineering" - expanded the fleet of equipment to increase the production of engineering parts for industrial enterprises, including as part of import substitution. This was announced on December 12, 2022 by the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of the city of Moscow, which is part of the Complex of Economic Policy and Property and Land Relations of the capital, Vladislav Ovchinsky.

Responding to the need for import substitution in the industrial sector, the resident of the capital's special economic zone expanded his production line with new equipment for 3D printing - photopolymer printers. About 27 million rubles were spent on their purchase. Thus, the company will be able to ensure the growing demand of enterprises from various industries for engineering parts, for example, in case products for electrical equipment, some of which are absent from the Russian market. First of all, this applies to the spheres of metalworking, machine and aircraft engineering, - added Vladislav Ovchinsky.

Additive technologies ensure rapid and cost-effective production. For example, the manufacturing time of one impeller - a screw installed inside a pipe - is reduced from four months to three days, and the cost of its production is reduced by 20 times.

In addition, three-dimensional printing allows you to create high-quality domestic analogues of foreign engineering parts in a short time. Even large products can be made on 3D equipment. They are divided into several parts, and later assembled into a single whole.

In addition to meeting the needs of the industrial sector, the company plans to increase the production of blanks for eliners - dental caps to correct the bite. First, three-dimensional shooting of the jaw is performed and several of its models are created at each stage of correction, including the final one. Then the entire set is printed, on the basis of which the eliners are made. It takes only 12 hours to create one batch of blanks from 200 models.

Start-up of metal powder production for 3D printing

A resident of the SEZ "Technopolice" Moscow, "the company" Additive Engineering, "launched a service - laboratory production of metal powders in a small volume for 3D printing, Technopolice said on November 26, 2020, according to General Director Gennady Degtev.

For companies engaged in 3D metal printing, in the capital's special economic zone, it became possible to receive laboratory samples of metal powder. To do this, the SEZ resident launched equipment - a laboratory atomizer, which, unlike industrial devices, processes small metal blanks and allows additive industries to save up to 70% of raw materials during research and implementation work. The equipment rare for this industry installed in the SEZ strengthens the position of the capital's special economic zone not only in the field of innovation, but also in the field of resource-saving technologies, "said Gennady Degtev.

The production of metal powder is based on ultrasonic atomization, which allows the production of powders with any particle size.

{{quote "The installed atomizer can produce up to 0.3 liters of powder per hour, it is a compact system where atomization occurs. As a raw material, a metal rod with a diameter of up to 10 mm or wires with a diameter of up to 2 mm can be used - this is such a small volume of raw material and saves resources. Such equipment and similar service are absolutely unique. Usually, atomizers are huge machines that require one-time loading of more than ten kilograms of raw materials for processing, "said Ashkhen Hovsepyan, CEO of Additive Engineering. }}

The Additive Engineering company, which opened production at the Pechatniki site in early 2020, received the status of a resident of the Technopolice Moscow special economic zone in August 2020. Until 2029, the company's total investment in the development of 3D products will amount to about 100 million rubles. In the next 10 years, the company plans to occupy almost 5% of the Russian market for additive technologies.

The status of a SEZ resident and the presence of all available preferences will give the company the opportunity to increase capacity by almost 180 times, to 30 million cubic centimeters per year. The company has already invested over 50 million rubles in the project and plans to invest about 45 million more by 2029, as well as create 40 additional jobs, "said the head of the department.

According to Gennady Dogtev, General Director of the Technopolice Moscow SEZ, the company plans to occupy almost 5 percent of the Russian additive technology market in the next 10 years.

The company has been located on the site in Pechatniki since the beginning of 2020 and covers an area of ​ ​ about 700 square meters. During the pandemic, the company promptly modified production. The company launched the manufacture of valves for ventilators printed on a 3D printer and supplied them to medical institutions in the city. Potential customers of products are state corporations, concerns, commercial and industrial enterprises and leading universities in Russia and the CIS, - said Gennady Dogtev.

Industrial enterprises are increasingly using 3D printing in the production of components and working tools. Our company uses seven types of production technologies, differing in application methods. In some cases, 3D-printed components are much cheaper than traditional ones. Also, due to the possibility of manufacturing a product of any complexity and high-speed printing with extreme accuracy, the production time of products is significantly reduced, "explained Ashkhen Hovsepyan, General Director of Additive Engineering LLC.
