PD-35 developer switched design to Russian software

160 parts have already been made in KOMPAS-3D

The ODK-Aviadvigatel bureau, which is developing the PD-35 engine, has designed more than 160 parts and assembly units using the Russian KOMPAS-3D program. The fifth stage of the project to implement domestic software has been completed, the ODK press service reported.

In parallel, the corporation completed the implementation of a production and supply chain management system developed by NPC "1C". It is already operating in the ODK corporate center and at the ODK-Salut, ODK-STAR, and ODK-Saturn enterprises.

The system integrates all processes — from procurement to shipment — into a single information space and allows real-time tracking of the engine creation chain.

In the future, we plan to expand the functionality of these systems by applying artificial intelligence technologies.

ODK noted that the PD-35 has already received more than 2,300 parts manufactured using additive technologies.

Aviation expert Roman Gusarov explained that the PD-35 will be the pinnacle of domestic technologies, but its development is more complex than launching a space rocket.
