Cooperation between Pumori and the Governor’s Lyceum

20 March 2025

Recently, students from the Ural Governor’s Lyceum visited the production facilities of the Pumori Engineering Centre.

But it was not just a tour. As the lyceum technology teacher Irina Kiseleva said, in technology lessons students work within the framework of various projects, and for their correct implementation it was necessary to see modern metalworking, “to immerse in production”.

And before that, in January, a group of teachers from the lyceum, headed by the director Igor Klimovskikh, visited the Engineering Centre at the personal invitation of Pumori Corporation General Director Aleksandr Balandin (read about it here ). The idea was to jointly develop a unique career guidance program for lyceum students. After viewing the full production cycle and sharing their thoughts with Pumori's engineers, it was decided that the Engineering Centre is quite suitable for materializing the plan.

And now lyceum students are in Pumori. According to the Deputy General Director of the Engineering Centre — Managing Director of UZIS LLC and Techtrade LLC Roman Fokin, “we showed them the complete path of a workpiece in production”. The visit consisted of two halves. In the theoretical session, they were introduced to the basic principles of production and shown the whole path of a part from receiving the order to the release. Pumori specialists explained the main types of metal-cutting machines, and talked about the role of information technologies and CAD/CAM tools. During the practical session in the workshop, the students were given a real-life workpiece, some measuring tools, and asked to measure all the elements of the piece. Three students — Artem Beglov, Marsel Grechishnikov, and Grigorii Kladukhin — received a technical assignment: to prepare, based on the results of measurements, a drawing of the workpiece in the KOMPAS 3D program, then make a model of the product on a 3D printer, and present the project to the student audience.

The students participating in the 3D-printing project showed great interest in everything they saw at the factory. According to them, working on the project will help them decide on their choice of profession later.

The cooperation between Pumori, which has been operating on the market for 35 years, and the Ural Governor’s Lyceum, which opened last year, will continue; let us hope that it will become regular.
