PolyTechG PKM3 is a purpose-built new product made for the Academy of Applied Studies Polytechnic from Belgrade, and will be used as a teaching aid at the Požarevac Department. The machine construction and kinematic modelling were carried out by researchers from Lola Institute and the Academy of Applied Studies Polytechnic from Belgrade. The complete control unit was developed at Lola Institute. The machine was manufactured and assembled by the company GATECH DOO from Belgrade. The machine is the product of successful cooperation between science, education, and industry.
