Reshetnev, a part of the Roscosmos state corporation, has opened a new division whose employees use polymer printing technologies in an additive laboratory.
The first equipment to arrive at the laboratory was a complex for selective laser melting of metal powders. It now operates around the clock.
The equipment produced elements for the "Marathon" spacecraft. Specialists are also developing components for the "Express-AMU4", "Express-RV", "Gonets", and "SKIF" satellites.
Additive technologies help Reshetnev solve non-standard production tasks. The division works not only with metal, but also prints polymer models and prototypes for the space industry.
The "Skif-D" satellite, developed by Reshetnev, has been in Earth orbit since 2022. In early December, it transmitted the first data to the control center.
