Abstract

Today is marked by the active introduction of additive technologies into various fields of science and production, allowing the creation of devices, functional prototypes and structures with complex geometry. The use of additive technologies in analytical chemistry opens up new opportunities for researchers: the time and economic costs of developing and manufacturing new devices, reactors, specialized chemical glassware, etc. are significantly reduced. One of the most promising areas is associated with the use of 3D printing to create new equipment and produce parts with a complex internal spatial configuration, including for the repair of analytical equipment. The article describes the equipment and materials used in additive technologies, and examples of their successful application to solve problems of analytical chemistry.
