All you need to do is create a Smelter to craft Copper Ingots, then use a conveyor belt to bring those ingots to a Splitter. One side of that splitter can go to a container while the other heads to the Constructor.

Then, simply connect the other two lanes with a merger, so the creation sends through the two Copper Ingots to the Constructor and places any leftover resources back into the container.
