Russia's first laser system specializing in the production tasks of ship repair and addressing the import substitution of ship parts will be built at the Dalzavod Ship Repair Center, part of the Far Eastern Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Center.

VLADIVOSTOK (Sputnik) — The company said a pilot setup for the recovery of ship machinery parts by laser fusing under commission from Dalzavod has been completed by the Far East Branch of the Russian Academy of Science's institute of automation.

"The project entails the creation of the first laser system focused exclusively on the production tasks of ship repair using various kinds of metals, alloys and plastics. The advanced method is expected to be mastered and put into the practice of repair," Dalzavod said in a statement.

According to Dalzavod executive director, Igor Evdokimov, scientists and staff members' will work together to create new technologies and materials to meet the requirements of the modern Navy and comply with its standards.

"The application of these technological innovations is based on the use of domestic laser systems. Laser deposition technology, in particular, will contribute to solving import substitution issues in areas associated with the supply of spare parts and machinery from abroad," Evdokimov said.
