The fuel division of the state corporation "Rosatom" and the Russian developer of 3D scanners RangeVision have entered into a technological partnership aimed at developing additive technologies in industry. The main goal of the collaboration is to accelerate the implementation of 3D scanning in the nuclear industry, as well as to create comprehensive solutions for the Russian and international markets.
According to Ilya Kavelashvili, Director of the "Additive Technologies" business area of Rosatom's fuel division, this partnership will help reduce dependence on component imports.
We expect that our partnership will help accelerate the implementation of additive technologies throughout Russian industry, which will favorably affect the strengthening of national technological sovereignty and independence from component imports.
Yuri Chaikin, founder of RangeVision, emphasized that cooperation with Rosatom will open up new opportunities.
Partnership with Rosatom opens up new opportunities and horizons for us: accelerating the development and commissioning of new products, returning to international markets, attracting large Russian customers, strengthening the R&D team. Investments give us the resources to implement ambitious ideas and plans, allowing us to move forward with even greater speed.
Thanks to the experience of the RangeVision development team, specialized solutions will be created that are necessary for nuclear industry enterprises. The fuel division of Rosatom will be engaged in the introduction of modern control methods and three-dimensional scanning technologies at the enterprises of machine-building, fuel, electric power and other divisions.
In the coming years, it is planned to develop a new line of high-precision scanners that will be adapted to the specific requirements of the nuclear industry and will meet increased safety and reliability requirements. This will significantly speed up the processes of quality control, repair and import substitution of equipment at nuclear industry enterprises.
Additive technologies, also known as 3D printing, are methods of creating objects by layer-by-layer addition of material based on a digital model. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, such as milling or casting, where material is removed or poured into molds, additive technologies build the product layer by layer, allowing for the creation of complex and unique designs with high precision.
3D scanning technology allows you to create digital copies of physical objects of any shape and complexity. Special printers are used for this, which can reproduce products of any shape if there is a digital model. Rosatom has created a full-fledged system for the production of products and services for three-dimensional printing. In the near future, it is planned to add RangeVision 3D scanners to the system. They will become the last element in the formation of comprehensive services in the field of reverse engineering.
