The RUDN University Institute of Innovative Engineering Technologies held a partnership program for continuing professional education, the Summer School, entitled "Additive Technologies in the Nuclear Industry," in collaboration with the Rosatom State Corporation. The course was designed for engineering specialists, students at technical universities, and anyone interested in 3D printing.

Secrets of Industrial 3D Printing

The training took place at RUDN and the Rosatom Center for Additive Technologies. It spanned 52 academic hours, culminating in students acquiring theoretical and practical skills in industrial 3D printing, as well as an understanding of the application and effectiveness of additive manufacturing in manufacturing, particularly in the nuclear industry.

The course program included lectures, seminars, workshops, practical training, and excursions. Participants gained both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in industrial 3D printing.

Students were introduced to various additive manufacturing technologies, including fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA/DLP), selective laser melting (SLM), direct energy and material deposition (DED/DMD), and selective laser sintering (SLS). They also learned about the operating principles of laser systems, approaches to developing laser printing technologies for parts with specified properties, methods for working with control programs, and studied the properties and characteristics of metallic materials for printing.

Excursions and master classes

Participants were particularly interested in the master classes and workshops on printing and incoming inspection of 3D printing materials, as well as a visit to Rosatom's Additive Technologies Center and the state corporation's Fuel Company Museum. Upon completion of the course, all participants completed a final assessment and received certificates of advanced training and certification.

"The second intake for the 'Additive Technologies in Industry' summer school, held online with our partner, Rosatom State Corporation, confirms the high strategic importance of implementing and developing additive technologies for achieving technological sovereignty and enhancing the competitiveness of key industries. Implementing continuing education programs is one of the points on our roadmap with Rosatom State Corporation, which includes joint research, specialist training, joint participation in conferences, and fulfilling orders from the real economy. Our institute values our partnership with Rosatom State Corporation, looks to the future with great optimism, and is already preparing for the next intake for the summer school," said Andrey Medvedev, Director of the RUDN University Institute of Information Technologies.

"The summer school is an excellent example of the successful collaboration between science, education, and industry. Our goal is to demonstrate to young professionals the capabilities of additive equipment and the applications of 3D printing in various fields. Upon completion of the training, highly qualified specialists in additive technologies will accelerate their implementation at enterprises to ensure the country's technological leadership," said Ilya Kavelashvili, Director of the Additive Technologies Business Unit at Rosatom State Corporation.
