The design Bureau of mechanical engineering (part of the holding NPO "high-Precision complexes" of the state Corporation rostec) introduces additive technologies in production.
In November 2020, in order to reduce the time required to obtain a prototype of a promising product, KBM sent to the Ministry of industry and trade of the Russian Federation a "Line of application of additive technologies in the manufacture of parts within the framework of R & d of the developed product" to make a decision on financing the pilot project.
Digitalization and automation of production, which distinguish today, significantly accelerated the processes of design, production of products, and improved their quality. In order to remain competitive, enterprises are forced to move at the same speed as scientific and technological progress. The use of additive technology allows designers not only to create parts of the product of almost any geometric complexity, but also to gain time. At the design stage, when pilot production deals with unique products, it is necessary to develop and manufacture tooling and stamps for them.
"Together with VIAM — the all-Russian research Institute of aviation materials — we conducted research work, "said Vladimir Kostarev, head of the technological Department of KBM. — "The technology of obtaining several prototypes of parts has been developed. As a starting material for additive technologies, a number of necessary metal-powder compositions were created and worked out. The operability of the obtained parts in the composition of the product is confirmed by successful full-scale tests. Of course, in the future it is necessary to introduce additive technologies in mass production."
"The widespread introduction of additive technologies will reduce the final cost of products and simplify their production. Almost all enterprises of the holding apply them to one degree or another," said Alexander Denisov, General Director of the NGO "high - Precision complexes".
