This makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing prototypes of equipment, said Alexander Krasovitsky, General Director of the Military-Industrial Company

MOSCOW, November 20. /tass/. The most complex parts for the newest wheeled armored platform "Boomerang" began to be produced on a 3D printer. This was reported to TASS by the Director General of the Military Industrial Company (MIC) Alexander Krasovitsky.

"Most recently, for pilot production at Military Engineering Center LLC (part of the Military-Industrial Complex), the production of a number of the most complex parts for the unified wheeled armored platform Boomerang using an industrial 3D printer was mastered," he said.

As Krasovitsky explained, the introduction of an industrial 3D printer into the production process makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing prototypes of equipment, and also the production of molds and stamps is not required. "As a result, the time for the production of particularly complex and new parts is reduced," he stressed.

According to him, the use of special plastics improves the quality and reliability of parts.

"Boomerang" is a promising unified wheeled armored platform developed by the military-industrial complex. Based on it, the K-17 wheeled BMP was created, first shown to the public in 2015 at the Victory Parade, as well as the K-16 armored personnel carrier. In the basic version, the K-17 BMP is equipped with an Epoch combat module with a 30 mm automatic cannon with a paired 7.62mm machine gun and Kornet anti-tank missiles. The K-16 APC is equipped with a combat module with a 12.7 mm machine gun. At the moment, the combat vehicle has an export appearance passport and is actively offered for export. In August 2021, TASS reported that state tests of machines on the Boomerang platform had already begun and an experimental industrial batch would soon appear in the Russian army.

MIC is the largest Russian manufacturer of wheeled armored vehicles.
