Significant factors of additive technologies in the frame of implementation in Russia

Additive Technologies (AT) that make possible to print three-dimensional objects (prototypes) as a digital model are established in production practice and provide a number of undeniable advantages. This trend determines the relevance of studying of the use of such technologies to improve productivity of Russian industrial organizations. Modern 3D technologies might significantly reduce the technological process and accelerate the output of finished products. At the same time, before applying any new production and management approaches, it is advisable to study the factors that affect AT diffusion. Purpose of the study: based on the study of scientific literature and the practice of AT using in Russian companies, indicate the factors affecting the rate of spread of these technologies in Russia, systematize these factors as a preparatory stage for research with the TISM methodology. It will make the possibility to carry out, as the basis of the TISM methodology, a further consideration of their relationship with each other for an even deeper understanding of the internal and external limitations of the spread of additive technologies in modern domestic industry. Consequently, the authors proposed a systematization of relevant factors, both promoting and hindering the use of 3D printing technologies in Russia; a flowchart has developed using the TISM methodology, which has a comprehensive analysis of the identified factors. This result represents scientific and practical originality and can allow interested companies introducing a clear strategy in the field of AT to increase the efficiency of their activities.
