Additive Manufacturing in the Development of Scalable Models of Technological Equipment

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of effective methods for the development of full-scale models of technological equipment for chemical and petrochemical industries based on the use of additive manufacturing. It is shown that 3D printing can be used to prepare and test various elements of heat and mass transfer devices with great accuracy and in the shortest possible time. It is concluded that the use of additive manufacturing allows for significant efficiency of research work in the field of industrial chemistry and petrochemistry.
