The research objective is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the time spent on the production of parts of complex geometry using additive and traditional technologies. In modern industrial production, especially in the field of mechanical engineering, the manufacture of parts with complex shapes is becoming more and more in demand. These parts often have a high degree of complexity and require precise and efficient processing. The use of additive and traditional technologies in the production of parts can present various advantages and disadvantages, including production speed, manufacturing quality and overall time costs. However, there is insufficient research comparing the time costs of these two production methods, especially in the context of manufacturing parts of complex geometry. This work aims to fill this knowledge gap by analyzing and comparing the time spent on manufacturing parts using additive and traditional technologies. The results of this research can be useful for both the scientific community and industrial enterprises, helping them make informed decisions when choosing production technology for specific tasks.
