Rosatom Accelerates Industry Fivefold with Advanced 3D Printing and AI Technologies
At the Energy Expo in Minsk, Russia’s state corporation Rosatom showcased how additive manufacturing and digital transformation are reshaping not just the nuclear sector, but the entire industrial landscape.
Rosatom unveiled groundbreaking technologies at the Energy Expo in Minsk that can accelerate industrial production up to five times faster than traditional methods. A key highlight was the use of 3D printing to manufacture complex metal components, dramatically reducing production times while enhancing precision and design flexibility. These innovations illustrate how Rosatom is leveraging its scientific and technical expertise to drive digital transformation across industries, offering turnkey solutions that boost efficiency and set new global standards.
Among the corporation’s featured initiatives was a full-cycle additive manufacturing ecosystem — spanning from the production of 3D printers and software to on-demand printing services and professional training. One such printer, the RusMelt-300M, was used to create an impeller for industrial pumps. Instead of conventional casting, the component was ‘grown’ from metal powder using laser technology, cutting production time to record levels.
Beyond Nuclear: Automation and Electric Mobility
Rosatom also presented other forward-looking technologies, including the fully autonomous 'Kazak' observation post that operates without human oversight, a high-precision optical 3D scanner, and a prototype electric vehicle powered by Rosatom’s own traction battery.
The company’s participation underscores the strategic nature of its cooperation with Belarus. As Stanislav Levitsky, head of Rosatom’s country office in Minsk, noted, the corporation is focused on demonstrating its technological achievements and strengthening partnerships. He emphasized that Rosatom’s project portfolio includes not only large-scale VVER-1200 reactors but also small modular reactors and floating nuclear power plants.
Rosatom is equally committed to the development of electric transport. The company is already supplying pilot battery batches to Belarusian factories and is developing advanced energy storage systems for mining equipment and urban electric vehicles — a step toward a cleaner and more self-sufficient industrial future.
