EN The presented article deals with the possibility of using augmented reality (AR) technology in the field of mechanical engineering. In several chapters, it describes the possibilities of using a specialized software package. It allows the use of CAD models assemblies processed into sequences, which serve as a template for creating AR experiences. The first chapter informs about the possible benefits of the presented solution, focuses on the selection of equipment and software that can be used during problem-solving. It also describes the actual work in PTC’s specialized software package, the addition, and the importance of different parts of the sequence to streamline selected maintenance steps of the Emco Mill 55. The second chapter focuses on the part of the software package specializing in AR. It describes the creation of both parts of the basis for the AR experience, i.e., its 2D and 3D parts. By 2D part, we mean the user interface displayed by the output device in the user’s field of view. The 3D part displays an interactive AR sequence connecting the 3D models displayed in the AR, with individual sequence steps and basic CAD functions. The results described at the end of the publication represent a comprehensive way of applying AR technology in this area. At the same time, this solution is one of the ways to reduce the qualification requirements for new employees in the future and the time required for their successful training and education.
