Eco-Friendly 3D Printing Center Will Launch in Egypt in 2026

A 3D printing centre is being set up in Egypt for 2026 in partnership with Russia’s Rosatom. Contracts have already been signed with two Egyptian companies in the medical and oil sectors to apply additive manufacturing technologies, with training programmes for local personnel to be provided at the government’s request. The cost of a single industrial printer is estimated at around 70 million rubles.
The centre will support the use of 3D printers in sectors where logistics and supply chains present challenges, such as oil and gas fields. Rosatom has previously developed a mobile unit equipped with 3D printers, capable of producing components on-site outside factory conditions. This approach helps reduce downtime in industries where parts typically require long lead times using traditional casting and machining methods.
Applications of 3D printing already extend across aerospace, automotive, medical, and engineering fields. In Egypt, the technology is expected to cut import costs by enabling local production of spare parts, reduce material waste, speed up repairs, and lower energy consumption in maintenance processes. Recycling of powder materials and gases also supports cleaner, waste-free production.
