Rosatom masters 3D printing technology for copper and copper alloys

The additive manufacturing technology business division of Rosatom's Fuel Division recently announced that its experts have successfully manufactured products from copper and copper alloys using the RusMelt industrial 3D printer, marking progress in additive manufacturing with copper materials. According to reports, Rosatom had previously used selective laser melting (SLM) technology to produce metal 3D-printed equipment of various sizes, with commonly used materials including stainless steel, heat-resistant materials, and titanium. Due to copper's physical properties such as high thermal conductivity and high electrical conductivity, which also pose technical challenges for laser melting, its application in metal 3D printing has long been limited. The company's additive manufacturing technology center in Moscow...

Russia's First Domestic 3D Scanner Helix Included in National Product Registry, Rosatom Completes Additive Manufacturing Technology Chain

The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has included the first domestically produced 3D scanner, the RangeVision Helix, in the Unified Register of Russian Electronic Products and the confirmed register of Russian-made industrial products. The registration was carried out in accordance with Russian Government Resolutions No. 878 and No. 719. Thus, the Helix has become the first and currently the only 3D scanner in Russia to be included in the aforementioned national registers. The RangeVision Helix was developed and manufactured by RangeVision, an additive manufacturing partner of Rosatom. Since 2025, the company has become the only Russian 3D scanner manufacturer included in Rosatom's additive manufacturing ecosystem...

Self-developed "Dimeng" Engine Powers Trial Operation of Daya Bay Nuclear Power's Real-Scene 3D Twin Platform

Recently, the real-scene 3D twin platform for Daya Bay Nuclear Power, jointly developed by Daya Bay Nuclear Power and Zhike/Simulation Company under CGN Digital Technology, was launched for trial operation. Leveraging the self-developed Dimeng domestic 3D engine from the Simulation Company, the platform integrates multi-source data including 3D models, Gaussian splatting, forward design data, and GIS for the Daya Bay Nuclear Power base. The Dimeng engine is a graphics development tool independently developed by the Simulation Company to address the characteristics of the nuclear power industry, such as dense equipment, complex system interconnections, and scattered data, providing underlying capabilities including model rendering, spatial interaction, physical simulation, and data-driven processing. Building on this foundation, the Simulation Company, in collaboration with Daya Bay Nuclear Power, constructed the real-scene 3D twin platform...

JAEA Develops 3D-Printed Disposable Aerosol Particle Size Classification Device

On July 30, 2026, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency announced the development of a palm-sized, 3D-printed disposable device named µSPLIT (micro splitter) that can separate airborne particles by particle size on-site and collect them onto filters for subsequent or direct measurement. The disposable classification and measurement device µSPLIT (left) separates aerosols by particle size through controlled intake flow rate, with particles collected on filters. (Right) The main unit can be directly connected to a radiation detector via a thin film. According to reports, µSPLIT measures approximately 12 cm × 3 cm × 3 cm and is integrally molded from transparent resin using stereolithography 3D printing technology...
