Currently, thanks to the development of additive technologies and computational methods, it is possible to conduct research up to the fifth level of technological readiness within university laboratory complexes. As an example of such an installation, a stand of an axial two-stage micro-fan similar in design to an axial compressor of gas turbine installations can act. The novelty of the project is the use of a mobile and small-sized laboratory stand, which in turn ensures the completeness of the knowledge of the design engineer. The article is relevant because of the use of model steps, that is, steps that are identical in their dimensionless parameters. A characteristic feature of the development of axial compressors is the use of this type of stages along almost the entire length of the axial compressor, except for the group of first, supersonic and last stages. The objective of this study is a one-dimensional and kinematic calculation of two fan stages, modeling of air flow in the flow part, manufacturing of rotor and stator parts with further testing, carrying out fine-tuning of the fan by polishing methods to achieve aerodynamic perfection of surfaces in contact with the working body. An additional method of increasing efficiency is to reduce the radial gap. Attention is paid to the stages of design, manufacture of fan parts, methods of fine-tuning and comparative analysis of the obtained parameters during testing of the flow part. As a result of the work, the characteristics of the fan, the pressure profile along the height of the flow part were obtained, which, when analyzed, allowed us to obtain the main problems. The problems in this work are the printing structure and the unevenness of the flow part, which has a negative effect on the fan parameters. Carrying out fine-tuning with the methods proposed above to increase the efficiency of the installation, it was possible to achieve an increase in pressure and flow, as well as the efficiency of the fan.
