Use of 3D printing in the Czech Republic
Kopecký, Miroslav ; Varhaník, Matúš (referee) ; Sedlák, Josef (advisor)
3D printing is a widely recognized and well established technique that enables the fabrication of complex structures with low production cost and easy scalability. In this study was conducted a comprehensive review of the applications of 3D printing in various industries in the Czech Republic. The first part of the research provides a summary of the different 3D printing techniques available, along with a comparison of relevant printing parameters and acquisition costs. The next part continues with description of the practical applications of the explained 3D printing methods in the Czech Republic industires. Namely, the applications in construction, automotive, education, and healthcare industries are discussed in more detail. The latter one is then brought into focus in the practical part of this work, where a medical aid is fabricated. Specifically the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and Stereolithography (SLA) printing methods are used to fabricate a balance plates for lower limb proprioception training as a cost- effective alternative to commercially available product. Through a comparison of physical measurements, was found that the FFF method yielded more precise printouts. This research highlights the potential of 3D printing in delivering tailored medical aids, offering a promising avenue for future development.
