Additive technologies implemented in all PD-8, PD-14, and PD-35 engines

New methodology allows creating parts for aircraft faster, cheaper, and more accurately

The Center for Additive Technologies (CAT) of the United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of the Rostec State Corporation) is implementing a new methodology in all engines of the PD-8, PD-14, and PD-35 series. This follows from a statement by Alexey Mazalov, General Director of the Center for Additive Technologies of the United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of the Rostec State Corporation).

According to him, it is impossible to do without additive technologies if the task is to achieve increased operational characteristics of the product.

The entire focus of our production, knowledge-intensive, and technological attention is aimed at aircraft engine construction. The most complex works are directly related to such engine-building topics in the UEC product line, related to the manufacture of blanks for PD-14, for PD-8, PD-35.
