The Center for Additive Technologies (CAT) of Rostec State Corporation together with the Moscow Aviation Institute are launching a training program for specialists in the field of 3D printing. In the first stream, up to one hundred people will master the program, who will have the opportunity to find employment at the sites of the Central Data Center in Moscow and other regions of Russia.
Recruitment for courses is carried out among university students and experienced professionals who want to improve their qualifications. You can choose from one of four programs: "Design Engineer for additive technologies", "Process Engineer for additive Technologies", "Online course on additive technologies" and "3D plastic printing".
It is planned to train about one hundred specialists in the first stream. The classes will be conducted by leading practitioners from the Center for Additive Technologies of Rostec and MAI teachers.
3D printing technologies are increasingly being introduced into the modern aircraft industry. They are used, for example, in experimental PD-35, VK-650V and VK-1600V demonstrator engines, body parts for the Ansat-M helicopter, the fuel system of the PD-14 engine of the MS-21 liner and other developments of the Rostec aviation cluster.
"Taking into account the forecast of production growth, we clearly understand that in two or three years we may face a shortage of specialists in the field of introduction and application of additive technologies. It is for this purpose that an educational project has been launched jointly with the Moscow Aviation Institute. It is aimed at improving the skills of existing employees of enterprises and the formation of a cohort of new specialists from among the listeners," said Vladislav Kochkurov, General Director of the Rostec Data Center.
The start of the program is scheduled for July 2022. The duration of training varies from 14 to 30 days. At the end of each training block, there is an intermediate certification and a final exam at the end of the course. After completing the training, students will receive a state-issued certificate.
"In the modern world, complex specialists are in demand who are able not only to "grow" a part, but also to organize work on modeling and topological optimization of the design, technological design of additive manufacturing, testing and confirmation of characteristics for production of a serial product. This is what the MAI training programs are aimed at," said Dmitry Kaisin, Director of the MAI Directorate of Advanced Educational Programs.
Rostec Data Center has a license from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia for serial 3D printing of aviation products. This is the first and only Russian enterprise to date that has confirmed its competence in mass industrial 3D printing in the interests of the aviation industry.
