Ovchinsky: resident of SEZ “Technopolis Moscow” will increase the production of parts using 3D printing

MOSCOW, December 12 – RIA Novosti. A resident of the special economic zone (SEZ) “Technopolis Moscow” – the company “Additive Engineering” – expanded the fleet of 3D printing equipment, including the framework of import substitution, in order to increase the production of engineering parts for industrial enterprises. said Vladislav Ovchinsky, head of the city investment and industrial policy department ( DIPP).

“In response to the need for import substitution in the industrial sector, a resident of the capital’s SEZ expanded his production line with new equipment for 3D printing – photopolymer printers. About 27 million rubles were spent on their purchase. In this way, the company, for example, some of which are not available on the Russian market When it comes to electrical engineering products, the ability to meet the growing demand for engineering parts from enterprises from various industries. First of all, it relates to the fields of metalworking, mechanical engineering and aircraft construction,” he said.

Additive technologies enable fast and cost-effective production. For example, the production time of a propeller – a screw inserted into a pipe – is reduced from four months to three days, and the production cost is reduced by 20 times. Also, 3D printing makes it possible 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 then combined into a single whole.

Additive Engineering company received the status of IEZ resident in 2020. Today, the company’s equipment fleet includes 18 modern 3D printers. The company has already invested more than 100 million rubles to improve its production at the Printers site.
