Summary
When designing construction equipment, it is necessary to take into account not only the function of the required equipment, but also the manufacturability of individual parts, the accuracy of production, the materials from which they will be made, the costs associated with their production and many other parameters. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the problems of construction technology and the possibility of using 3D printing technology in production. The graduate of the course will get an idea of the construction of parts from the perspective of materials, production and production costs.
