Khabarovsk's New High-Tech Plant to Boost Russia's 3D Printing Material Production
A new production plant in Khabarovsk will soon manufacture plastic filaments for 3D printing. The Khabarovsk Mechanical Plant, a resident of the local Advanced Development Territory (ADT), is leading the project. With an investment of 7.4 million rubles, the facility aims to fill a gap in Russia's high-tech materials market.
The plant will focus on producing PLA and PETG filaments, essential materials for additive manufacturing. These are widely used in industries like drone production. Once fully operational, the facility will occupy 500 square metres and house a production line capable of outputting 40 kilograms per hour.
Monthly production is expected to reach six tons, totalling up to 72 tons annually. A portion of the initial output has already been pre-ordered by a business partner. Construction and setup are underway, with production scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2026. Full capacity is projected for 2027.
The project stands out in the region, as no other ADT residents currently produce similar high-tech consumables. The Khabarovsk ADT hosts 131 active projects, with total investments surpassing 430 billion rubles. This new plant will contribute to import substitution, boost the local industrial sector, and create jobs in additive technology.
The Khabarovsk Mechanical Plant's initiative will strengthen regional self-sufficiency in 3D printing materials. By 2027, the facility aims to meet demand for drone components and other high-tech applications. The project aligns with broader efforts to expand Russia's industrial capabilities in advanced manufacturing.
