The final of the International Championship in Additive Technologies "3D-Profi-2025" was held in Moscow. This traditionally serves as a platform for identifying and supporting talented young people aged 14 to 23. Participants of the event, organized by the capital's Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development, became 150 schoolchildren and students.

Over the course of three years, the project has brought together nearly a thousand people. According to the championship's rules, young specialists master engineering skills and compete in 3D design, 3D printing, and reverse engineering using professional equipment. This year, in addition to Muscovites, teams from the Moscow and Tomsk regions, the Donetsk People's Republic, the Republic of Bashkortostan, and Belarus competed for the title of winner.

Thirty teams advanced to the finals. During the championship, they developed technological projects and prepared for their presentations. The program included two main sections: intensive training and the competition day. Over the course of five days, industry experts conducted various training sessions for the teams, covering topics such as working with 3D printers and scanners, teaching reverse engineering, explaining the intricacies of 3D design, and helping them refine their project ideas.

One of the projects presented at the championship was a prototype model of the Brest Fortress. It was created by the MetaMakers team from Baranovichi State University in the Republic of Belarus. The project is dedicated to creating a historical model of the legendary fortress, which will preserve the memory of the heroic events and convey to future generations the significance of the defenders' heroism.

The Olymp team presented a project on modeling and prototyping a biomechanical limb, the Bioengineers group proposed a project on a "Bionic Forearm Prosthesis," and the Quadrobers team proposed a custom cranial implant.

The city also received proposals. For example, the Green Print team presented a project to create innovative eco-friendly flowerbeds using eco-friendly materials and a construction 3D printer. The 3dZavry team proposed custom-made equipment for pipe bending machines, unique to the market. This solution could replace traditional methods, reducing resource consumption by a factor of 10.

The competition program consisted of several stages. First, participants completed practical tasks such as repairing a 3D printer, 3D scanning an object, and printing a digital model. The teams then presented their projects at an exhibition in the exhibit area and during pitch sessions before a panel of judges.

The championship concluded with a spectacular awards ceremony for the winners and runners-up. The team from the Moscow Polytechnic University, Soft 3D, presented a 3D printer for elastic materials and won first place, receiving the grand prize—a Bambu Lab H2S 3D printer. Second and third place went to participants from other educational institutions—Baranovichi State University (team MetaMakers) and the Russian Biotechnological University (team FaceLab3D). They were awarded valuable prizes provided by their partners: a Shining 3D EinStar 3D scanner and an Anycubic Photon M3 3D printer. The winning teams will have the opportunity to complete internships at leading additive manufacturing companies.

In addition, six special nominations were established for the best results in individual competition sections. Teams received additional prizes from partners in the form of training courses, personal consultations, and master classes.

The Cyberbusly team from the Belarusian National Technical University was recognized in the "Best 3D Printer Diagnostics" category. FolloTeam from the Moscow Aviation Institute excelled in the "Best Booth" category. The RevolPCBM team from the M.F. Panov College of Modern Technologies demonstrated excellent results in the "Best Reverse Engineering" category, and the code team won in the "Best 3D Design and Printing" category.
