Wings for Life: Discovering Engineering Kazan from the Supersonic TU-144" is the headline of the Summer School focused on additive manufacturing as a new kind of generative processes, which is capable of directly creating physical parts from 3D CAD models. Over a long period of time, the production and design of construction components were limited to the available modes of manufacturing. With the arrival of generative manufacturing processes, it nowadays becomes feasible and economically profitable to design and create a new generation of components and replacement parts.
3D printing, rapid prototyping, and generative manufacturing processes hold the potential to revolutionize production techniques and take them to a new level. By now, these new technologies serve as a supplement or an alternative to traditional modes of production. On these grounds, profound knowledge about additive manufacturing, featuring options and limits, is a must in the education and training of every engineer.
There are two key reasons for choosing this area: firstly, expertise and technical infrastructure like different laboratories at KNRTU-KAI are excellent. Secondly, this sort of complex, interdisciplinary production process appeals to students of various engineering study programs. More specifically, the topic pertains to the following disciplines:

Our summer school participants from outside Kazan stay in KAI dormitory №3 on Ulitsa Akademika Kirpichnikova 11. This is a renovated 5-floor-building, located 5km away from campus with several connecting bus and tram lines.
Off-campus activities
The Summer School pays attention to local languages and cultures (Russian and Tatar) by offering a Russian class for German students of 90 min/day. It also includes a variety of activities to explore Kazan, i.e., a city tour and a picnic on the Volga river banks. With a major Tatar holiday – Kurban Bajram – in the middle of the program schedule, students will have a chance to witness how Muslims respect traditional customs and celebrate this religious feast together with Russian Orthodox Christians.
Kazan Kremlin
For more than a thousand years of its history, the white-stone, symbolic and legendary Kazan Kremlin has heard almost every language of the world and hosted common tourists, ministers and presidents alike. Imperious-looking and powerful, it calls Muslims to the prayer in mosques and at the same time lets Orthodox church bells ring loud. By becoming a home to numerous museums, it invites guests from all over the planet every day. This architectural and historic monument was rightly included in UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage List as early as in 2000.

Innopolis
Innopolis (Russian: Иннополис) is a town in Verkhneuslonsky District of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, a satellite of Kazan, the capital of the republic. This is the smallest town in Russia with 96 inhabitants according to the 2016 estimate. The basis of the housing stock of Innopolis is 4 blocks of multi-storey apartment houses - 16 houses for 840 apartments - built by the State Housing Fund under the President of the Republic of Tatarstan and intended for leasing to residents of Innopolis and students. As of the end of 2016, there was a kindergarten, a school, an IT lyceum, a sports and medical center, post offices, client offices of AK Bars and Sberbank, a beauty salon, a coffee shop and a supermarket in Innopolis.

Great Bolgar
“The Great Bolgar” – this is how they often call this world-famous museum preserve, and rightly so. The site of the ancient settlement of Bolgar, registered by UNESCO and renowned for its history and legends, attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world every year. There are indeed many good reasons to see this wonderful place.
