The Moscow company will launch the production of 3D printers, consisting of the maximum number of Russian components, said Vladislav Ovchinsky, head of the department for investment and industrial policy of the capital of the Russian Federation.
They plan to use printers to print parts for household appliances, cars, accessories and much more. According to Ovchinsky, this will reduce the cost of the final product and reduce dependence on imports.
“3D technologies can solve the problem of import substitution. For example, a Moscow-based company has begun developing the production of its own 3D printers, and in the next two or three years it will organize it in such a way that all components are made in Russia. This will make it absolutely independent of imports,” he said.
Vladislav Ovchinsky said that the training of employees in new technologies with the subsequent introduction of innovations into production takes place at the Moscow Technical School, where a new direction, Additive Technologies, was opened this March. And the manufacturing company emphasized that the demand for 3D printing services has been constantly growing for the past five years: the company prints one and a half thousand orders a year.
In connection with the sanctions pressure, Moscow has taken a whole list of measures to support production. An additional 10 billion rubles were allocated to the City Fund for the Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship. Enterprises can use funds to pay interest on loans to replenish working capital, purchase equipment, implement investment programs and pay salaries.
