One of the main tasks of the Company is to increase the competitiveness of its products and services in the additive technology market.
The company takes an active part in projects related to research and development work on developing equipment for additive technologies, creating new materials for 3D printing and technologies for their production, improving complex technological modes of printing, thermal and post-processing.
Among the most significant projects is the development of 3D equipment for printing metal products using selective electron beam melting (SEBM) technology with the use of domestic electron beam guns and scanning systems. The project was implemented in 2019-2022 together with LLC TETA (Tomsk), where an Electron beam welding machine was created. The machine was used to work out the technology of printing with 12Cr18Ni10T steel wire and to produce a blank of an element of an experimental reactor with lead coolant - the output part of a magnetohydrodynamic pump.
LLC Rosatom Additive Technologies has developed equipment for the additive production of complex-profile and large-sized products for nuclear energy together with the Institute of Laser and Welding Technologies of the St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University.
Within the framework of the project:
a pilot unit for direct metal deposition of large-size products was manufactured on the basis of two industrial robots and a positioner
A fragment of a baffle of an intracore device for a VVER-TOI reactor made of 08Cr18Ni10Ti stainless steel was printed on a direct laser growth unit with synchronized operation of two cladding systems and a positioner.
