Russia Post permits 3D printers for forthcoming packages
Revamped Article:
Gear up, folks! Here's a peek into the future Mikhail Volkov, the head of Russian Post, envisions: a time when 3D printers are an integral part of our daily lives, and shipments become obsolete. He shared this forward-thinking perspective through TASS, expressing optimism about future logistics centers housing massive 3D printers, not just to speed up delivery, but to manufacture items right there, too.
Russian Post is right in the thick of it, already working on robotization and unmanned technologies for managing high volumes of mail. But, what about the future of 3D printing in this postal juggernaut?
On April 9, the Ministry of Digital Development cooked up a draft federal law thatHints of potential support for Russian Post. The proposed legislation outlines works and services Postal offices can offer in their premises, with a possible exemption from needing a pharmaceutical license and wide leeway regarding permitted medications for sale. Moreover, post offices may serve as pickup points for various marketplaces, streamlining the delivery process.
However, as of now, there's no solid info on the specifics of 3D printing in Russian Post's grand scheme. But, the wave of 3D printingapplications is crashing across other sectors, with defense and aerospace being major tides. For instance, in the U.S., the Pentagon is backing initiatives like Ursa Major's missile SRM projects, and Europe is focusing on boosting additive manufacturing capabilities[1][4][5].
Additional advancements in 3D printing include automated post-processing, multi-material integration, and on-site manufacturing[4]. So, while we await concrete details about Russian Post's 3D printing ambitions, keep your eyes on the horizon for innovative breakthroughs in this field!

- Mikhail Volkov, head of Russian Post, believes data-and-cloud-computing technology could lead to a future where postal services are replaced by 3D printers, manufacturing items on-site and speeding up delivery.
- In line with this vision, the Russian government proposed a law on April 9 to allow postal offices to offer medical services without the need for a pharmaceutical license, potentially paving the way for medicinal 3D printing within postal facilities.
- With the global surge in 3D printing applications, particularly in defense and aerospace, there is hope that Russian Post will soon announce their own 3D printing plans, incorporating advances like automated post-processing, multi-material integration, and on-site manufacturing.
- As robotization and unmanned technologies are already being utilized by Russian Post for managing high volumes of mail, it is expected that their future plans may include the integration of 3D printing robotics within their postal operations.
