RangeVision on AtomSkills

From March 30 to April 4, the tenth AtomSkills - 2025 International Professional Skills Championship was held in Yekaterinburg, at the site of the Yekaterinburg–Expo International Exhibition Center, bringing together more than 2,000 participants and experts from Russia, China, Turkey, Egypt, Bangladesh, South Africa, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Indonesia, India, of Kazakhstan.

The championship has been organized by Rosatom State Corporation since 2016. Today it is one of the largest championships in the world, it is held in 44 competencies.

Over the course of five days, representatives of 16 teams from Rosatom divisions and enterprises, teams from large domestic and foreign companies, as well as students competed for the title of the best in their profession in the AtomSkills-2025 main and student leagues. This year, the number of participating universities and colleges has grown to 70.

The work within the framework of the assessment of the individual competence "Additive Technologies" included 3D scanning with a manual and stationary scanner, restoration of geometry (reverse engineering) using a polygonal model and the production of parts on a 3D printer using SLA/DLP, FDM, SLM technologies. All this had to be done in a certain amount of time, putting the workplace in order and folding the equipment after finishing work. The participants were not allowed to use the turntable to complicate the task – only the substrate, matting spray and tags.

Several dozen stationary optical 3D scanners RangeVision Spectrum and hand-held laser RangeVision Helix were used for 3D scanning. Before the start of the competition, the participants, together with their expert mentors, had time to get acquainted with the equipment and attend a short introductory course on how to use scanners.

All the participants did a good job with scanning on both Spectrum and Helix. Not only the overall quality and accuracy of the obtained polygonal models were evaluated, but also the quality of specific surfaces (about 15) in various places of the object. The Chinese participant Wen Bian got the best model: he even managed to scan a rather long pipe from the inside.

According to the results of the competition, 3 specialists in each league won.

Winners in the Professional League

• Roman Yakovenko
• Artem Puzyrev
• Valery Erokhin

Winners of the Student League

• Wen Bian (international competition)
• Arkady Kuznetsov
• Vadim Sarsur

This championship was also remembered for the fact that one of the winners, Vadim Sarsur, created a real Lego set for assembling a Spectrum scanner model, including instructions, and presented it to his expert. 

RangeVision 3D scanners once again performed well at the largest professional championship as reliable and high-precision tools for digitizing industrial parts of complex geometry. And they will undoubtedly work on the next one.
