Using of elastomers in forming technology
Drda, Ondřej ; Peterková, Eva (referee) ; Podaný, Kamil (advisor)
The purpose of this graduation thesis is to investigate and summarize the usage of elastomeric forming, which represent a uniqe method of cold forming in which the elastomeric pads overtake the function of the solid part in a forming machine. The most distinctive feature of elastomeric forming is its low price and a wide range of usage. It can be applied also to metal materials with finished surface. However the major disadvantage of this method is the need of an enormous pressing force. The elastomeric pads fall into two main categories – the open and closed ones. The open type is mostly used for metal sheets bending and roll bending, whereas the closed type finds even greater usage in processes like shearing, drawing (Guerin stamping), deep drawing (Marform, Maslenikov technique) and radial expanding. The thesis further describes the elastomers´ technical features, deformation withstandings, forming principles and their general usage.

Matrix classification and aplication in a flexible prototyping tool
Rygl, Ondřej ; Hänel, Thomas (referee) ; Blecha, Petr (advisor)
The price of the tools for making prototypes and small series of products, as well as the cost of additional changes in the tool are quite high and increase the price of the final product. A flexible tool provides an advantageous solution to create a wide variety of molds. In this thesis the area of flexible tooling is introduced. An experimental mechanism has been manufactured and tested. With the help of a methodical approach several solutions for a flexible tool design have been proposed. Based on the evaluation of all given criteria, the most suited version has been designed and manufactured. The tool has been tested and evaluated for the thermoforming process. Improvements and potential applications have been suggested. The results show that the flexible tool has some limitations but has a broad potential use in several applications.
