Topics at 3D Expo 2019: 3D Metal Printing, Anton Sotov, Samara University

In anticipation of the upcoming Top 3D Expo exhibition and conference , which will be held April 19 in Technopolis Moscow, we talk about the participants in the conference.



From Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Koroleva will be delivered by Anton Vladimirovich Sotov, winner in the “Young Scientist” nomination, assistant at the Department of Engine Production Technologies, junior research fellow at IPIT-216 (Institute for Production Innovative Technologies).

Samara University took part in the creation and testing of Russia's first aircraft engine with a 3D-printed combustion chamber and its advanced models, the development of 3D printing of implant materials for the spine and the creation of the first 3D metal printer in Russia. More details - further.

Anton Sotov

Last year, at the youth forum-exhibition "The Future of Aviation and Cosmonautics for Young Russia", held as part of the International Engine Forum (MDF-2018), Anton Vladimirovich took first place in the category "Young Scientist", submitting to the competition the development of 3D design techniques - printing of combustion chambers made of heat-resistant alloy powder.

The importance of developing methods for the application of 3D printing by metals in aviation and designing models for it is that they will allow using the technology on a large scale in the production of aircraft engines, which will reduce costs and expenses and accelerate the development and production of new models of aviation and space technology.



Forum participants showed interest in the gas turbine engine combustion chamber made using additive technologies from heat-resistant metal powder, as well as an internal combustion engine with an acoustic exhaust system SCORPIO-S-33-2.5.

Topic

The topic of Anton Sotov’s speech:

“Development of complex additive technologies and production of pilot industrial samples of aerospace engineering parts”

In his speech, the speaker will talk about the development and application of 3D printing methods by metal in the Russian aviation and space industry and research in this area.

About Organization

In 1942, the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute was created in the city of Kuibyshev, designed to provide training for engineering personnel for organizations in the aviation industry.



After the war, the institute participated in the development of many jet fighters and bombers of the MIG design bureaus, Il, Tu, and created aircraft engines.
Since 1957, the Institute has been training specialists in space rocket technology. Its graduates and employees took part in the development and production of intercontinental ballistic missiles and launch vehicles for spacecraft.

Cases

Printing a combustion chamber for an aircraft engine



Development and 3D printing of a combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine MGTD and the subsequent creation and testing of a new sample of a gas turbine aircraft engine MGTD A-8 with a 3D printed combustion chamber used to further develop 3D-printed methods for the production of aircraft and space engines .



Vitaly Smelov, Head of the Laboratory of Additive Technologies, Samara University:

“We were the first in the country to manufacture and test a combustion chamber as a part of full-scale MHDT. And we believe that this is a breakthrough - to create a working unit of a serial engine using additive technologies, although this is the first step of our great work.

In order to obtain products that meet the stringent requirements of aviation, it took a large set of experimental studies on the properties of powders, a study of the mechanical properties and metallographic studies of the structure of the synthesized samples. ”



The partners in the project were:



PJSC Kuznetsov (Samara), Scientific Production Enterprise Sintez (Samara), ZAO Samara Electrotechnical Plant (Samara), University of Lund (Lund University, Sweden), Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada), Federal State Unitary Enterprise Central Institute of Aviation Motors named after P.I. Baranova "(TsIAM), Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, National Center for Scientific Research" Democritus "(NCSR" Demokritos ", Athens, Greece), St. Petersburg Polytechnic University of Peter the Great, University of Stuttgart (Universität Stuttgart, Germany).

Vertebral implant creation

An experimental model of a cervical vertebra implant was created using a metal 3D printer in a joint project with scientists and specialists of the Samara State Medical University and Samara City Clinical Hospital No. 1 named after N.I. Pirogov.

Created individually for each patient, the implant is made of domestic materials and costs several times cheaper than imported analogues. Thanks to this development, thousands of patients with a damaged spine will be able to return to a full life.

Participation in the first project of a Russian 3D printer for metal printing

SSAU took part in the creation of a 3D printer for printing by refractory alloys as part of the federal target program “Research and Development in Priority Directions for the Development of the Russian Science and Technology Complex for 2014 - 2020”. This is the first development of its kind in Russia.
