The Ufa Scientific Institute of Rosneft, together with RN-Uvatneftegaz and RN-Technologies, held the Additive Technologies and Reverse Engineering Cup.
The competition finals took place at the TNF Industrial and Energy Forum in Tyumen. Students from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ufa, Tyumen, and Yaroslavl competed for the awards after passing the online qualifying round, beating out more than 100 competitors from 41 universities and 17 cities.
Over two days, the finalists completed the full cycle of creating a centrifugal pump impeller—one of the most technically complex components in oil and gas equipment with a limited service life. Each participant was required to utilize a variety of technologies, including 3D scanning, digital model development, product design, and 3D printing. The jury evaluated the resulting components based on strength, manufacturing precision, and compliance with specifications.
Ekaterina Beschatnova from St. Petersburg took first place, winning 250,000 rubles. Second place and 150,000 rubles went to Abdurakhim Abuskayev from Tyumen. Third place and 100,000 rubles* went to Alexander Grachev from Ufa.
The Additive Manufacturing and Reverse Engineering Cup is relevant due to the current challenges facing the oil and gas industry. Rosneft is developing its own production of equipment repair parts using innovative approaches. Holding specialized competitions promotes the development of this field among future professionals.
The Additive Technologies and Reverse Engineering Cup was held as part of the large-scale Rosneft IT Marathon, which the Company is holding for the seventh year in a row. A Student Hackathon, Geosteering League, and Academic Tournament will also take place before the end of the year. You can register for the IT competition on the website. HTTPS: // Events.rn.
