Rosatom pioneers copper 3D printing
Russia's Rostatom company, responsible for building the El Dabaa nuclear power plant, has successfully developed additive manufacturing techniques for copper components and alloys using RusMelt 3D printers that utilize Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. The company's engineers have overcome the physical property challenges of copper to ensure product quality and reduce porosity, thereby enhancing the material’s conductivity and enabling the rapid, cost-effective production of complex parts such as heat exchangers and conductive elements. The printers are available in three different models tailored to research needs and limited or large-scale production, supporting local industry development and import substitution across electrical engineering, energy, and aerospace sectors. Copper printing technology shows promise for components like heat exchangers and cooling systems, with improved quality and manufacturing flexibility, opening broad opportunities for developing various copper-dependent fields in the future.
