⚙️ Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has officially launched state-of-the-art equipment for 3D scanning and post-processing of components, with capabilities unmatched anywhere else in Ukraine.
🇨🇿 The opening ceremony was attended by Luboš Veselý, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Czech Republic to Ukraine, along with representatives of 3Dees Industries, LLC.
The project, implemented by the Educational and Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (MMI) and the Sikorsky Challenge Additive Manufacturing Science Park, is part of the initiative Expanding the Additive Manufacturing Center with Equipment for Digitization and Post-Processing of 3D-Printed Components.
The new equipment includes:
— a GOM Scan 1 optical 3D scanner with a full set of accessories for component digitization and quality control;
— a DyeMansion DM60 system for coloring polymer parts produced by 3D printing;
— a DyeMansion Powerfuse S system for chemical smoothing of polymer components.
These technologies significantly expand the university's capabilities in digital manufacturing, engineering research, and the training of highly qualified specialists.
🤝 The project is supported by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic (CzechAid) as part of the Czech assistance program for Ukraine. The equipment has been supplied under the Humanitarian, Stabilization, Reconstruction and Economic Assistance Programme for Ukraine 2023–2025, funded by the Government of the Czech Republic.
✔️ Prior to the official launch, 30 students and staff members from four faculties of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute completed specialized training delivered by experts from 3Dees Industries. The program covered key aspects of modern additive manufacturing and post-processing of 3D-printed products, including 3D scanning, component digitization, materials, and production optimization.
📌 Upon completing the training, participants received internationally recognized certificates and are now prepared to apply their new expertise in research, education, and real-world engineering projects.
