INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATIONS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, MANUFACTURED AT THE MOSCOW CENTER FOR LASER TECHNOLOGIES

The decade-long period of the evolution starting from the first installations to a modern complex, designed and manufactured entirely using just indigenous content, including software and an optical system, is presented. The first SLM-110 installation, manufactured in 2016, had a construction volume of 110×110×200 mm. Over the years, numerous research projects have been carried out. They served as the basis for the development of technological processes for growing parts and units obtained from various metal powders. In subsequent developments, the volume of grown products was increased to 250×250×300 mm. As a result of the completed R&D, a more advanced SLM-250 installation was designed and manufactured. In this installation with a sensor system a full automatic monitoring and control of process parameters is provided for long-term continuous operation of the complex for many days, ensuring high reliability and stability. A number of plants are successfully used in our industry in the production of complex products from a variety of metal, ceramic and composite powders produced in our country. The next stage in the development of additive manufacturing is the organization of sites for the manufacture of parts based on additive complexes and peripheral equipment. It is necessary to organize serial production of existing installations in our country and develop equipment to increase the process performance
