The article considers perspectives of the use of additive technologies to optimize the design of classifying devices. A brief overview of the solutions developed using 3D printing of for mining industry is given. It is stated that creation of models is impossible without knowledge of the laws of distribution of flows and expressions describing them. For this purpose, the influence of the pulp viscosity on classification in a hydrocyclone on an experimental unit has been studied. A modified Plitt model was proposed to predict the separation grain. The proposed model takes into account the pulp viscosity and predicts the size of the boundary grain more accurately.
