On September 21, 2026, the Additive Technology Center (TsAT) under Rostec's United Engine Corporation (ODK) announced it had used domestic titanium alloy powder to 3D-print its first batch of firearm components—an integrated muzzle brake-compensator-flash suppressor—via SLM (selective laser melting). The entire batch of blanks was printed on a single build platform in about one day. The part features a one-piece design with complex internal geometries such as profiled baffles and angled channels; each unit weighs no more than 300 grams, is lighter than conventional machined alternatives, significantly shortens manufacturing lead time, and lowers unit cost. Post-printing requires only minimal finishing, with no complex internal cavity cleanup. TsAT General Director Alexey Mazalov stated that precise matching of material and printing parameters is key to speeding up production and reducing costs, and that this validation lays the foundation for subsequent batch production of similar products. Following the mid-September launch of a unified industrial metal 3D printing platform, Rostec is advancing domestic powders, equipment, and process standards toward specific weapon application endpoints. Value for powder buyers: (1) Russian demand for domestic titanium alloy powder (TC4-type) for SLM continues to be validated, and Russia's powder supply chain localization direction is clear; (2) watch for the consolidating effect of Rostec's unified platform on powder standards—powder grades for export to the Russian market will need to align with its certification system; (3) this application validates the feasibility of titanium powder for small-batch rapid manufacturing of light weapons, offering a comparable reference for China's military lightweight-component market.
