Rosatom's Fuel Division has supplied India with the industrial 3D printer RusBeam 2800, which operates using electron beam wire additive manufacturing technology. This is the first delivery of a Russian 3D printer to a distant foreign country. The equipment has passed acceptance tests and is already in operation at a major production center in India, where it will be used to manufacture parts for the aerospace industry.
The contract was signed after winning an international tender. Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev noted that the Russian side won the tender by offering not only equipment but also technological expertise, materials, and service adapted to the customer's needs.
The RusBeam 2800 is the largest electron beam wire additive manufacturing 3D printer in a vacuum environment in India. The machine was manufactured as a single unit to meet the specific requirements of the Indian customer. The equipment allows for the production of large-sized parts up to 2.8 meters high and weighing up to 4 tons, including items with complex geometric configurations. The printing speed reaches 50 mm/s, which allows a 50 kg part to be produced in just 5 hours. Various materials based on titanium, nickel, cobalt-chromium, and other alloys can be used for 3D printing.
