MOSCOW, 25 September (BelTA) – Belarus together with the Russian state corporation Rosatom will soon open a center for additive technologies, BelTA learned from Belarusian Energy Minister Denis Moroz on the sidelines of the international forum World Atomic Week in Moscow.
Denis Moroz said that interaction with Rosatom covers not only on nuclear energy but also other cutting-edge areas. Additive technologies are one of them.
“Rosatom has unique technologies for making complicated structures and parts using additive technologies. Metal powder is fused by special lasers to become a complicated part. It is a more efficient method for making products. It allows manufacturing parts with very complicated configurations. It is impossible to manufacture these parts using conventional methods,” the energy minister explained.
In his words, Russian partners have a large spectrum of enterprises that possess these technologies and a center for additive technologies will be opened in Belarus soon. Thanks to that Belarusian enterprises will get access to 3D printers able to make complicated parts.
“In the Energy Ministry we already have successful experience of operating similar equipment. In order to repair complicated process equipment we don’t make parts using complicated machining. Instead we 3D scan and essentially print these parts,” the minister added.
