en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Russian Rybinsk Plant (part of the United Engine Corporation) is advancing the "Production 4.0" additive technology project, preparing to produce aircraft engine thrust components. This technology will accelerate part design and manufacturing, and reduce material consumption in prototype testing.

The plant has years of experience in the field of additive manufacturing, initially used for aircraft engine prototyping. It has now mastered mass production methods and is transitioning to serial production. The main direction is to expand the use of materials such as high-temperature nickel alloys and to develop gas turbine engine components that traditionally require complex machining, thereby speeding up the overall engine assembly process.

Ivan Ivanov, Head of the Additive Manufacturing Development Department, stated: "Our goal is to become a technological innovation center in the field of additive manufacturing in Russia, focusing on cost optimization and quality improvement to meet the high standards of our customers." The plant collaborates with Rybinsk Motors and Saturn, subsidiaries of the Rostec State Corporation, to implement import substitution programs for gas turbine engine parts (such as TV-16M, TV-25M, D-90KT-25M).

The new technology will simplify engine maintenance, reduce lifecycle costs, and shorten R&D certification cycles, helping to enhance the competitiveness of Russian engines. The project also plans to produce key components in regions such as Rybinsk, Kemerovo, and Moscow. Petr Petrov, General Director of Rybinsk Motors, emphasized: "The digitalization project of the production process will facilitate the transition from analog to digital manufacturing, ensuring reliable engines for aircraft and shipbuilding in 2026-2028."
