The All-Russian Institute of Aviation Materials (VIAM) showed its own developments in the field of additive technologies, including a series of small-sized gas-turbine engines MGTD-10, MGTD-20 and MGTD-150. 

Reverse engineering of such parts can be done using 3D scanners. You can see some examples and sample deviations here.

According to the VIAM’s press service, more than 70 percent of the engines components were made using the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology, using Russian-manufactured metal-powder composites. The full-cycle production process was developed in the VIAM. The usage of digital modeling, metal-powder composite as well as additive manufacturing of main components resulted in the MGTD-150 being a unique solution. There are no domestic equivalents to the engine, and some specifications are superior to those of foreign counterparts.

Apart from that, the VIAM showed self-developed experimental jet unmanned aerial vehicles at the forum. Another technology that was presented: metal-powder based composites of various alloys for additive technologies. The VIAM became the first Russian developer of additive materials: the new family of metal-powder composites that was developed in the VIAM, doesn’t have direct competition among the materials that come bundled with equipment to Russia from foreign countries.
