The Additive Technology Center of the United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of Rostec) has completed a large-scale modernization of production facilities. The updated infrastructure has significantly increased the production rate of critical components for promising PD-8, PD-14, and PD-35 aircraft engines.
A key factor in the growth of productivity was the widespread introduction of 3D printing technologies. Thanks to additive manufacturing, UEC engineers have reduced the manufacturing cycles of complex parts by dozens of times. For example, for the housings of fuel nozzles and sector nodes of the PD-35 engine, the production time was reduced from 4-6 months to just 24 days.
New 3D printing capabilities not only speed up production, but also pave the way for the implementation of fundamentally new design solutions - including geometrically complex parts that were previously impossible to manufacture using traditional methods. This increases the efficiency of engines and accelerates their refinement at all stages of the life cycle.
