Modification of printhead for 3D print of concrete
Diakov, Jakub ; Paloušek, David (referee) ; Vespalec, Arnošt (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the engineering design of the adjustment of the jet used for continuous 3d printing of the concrete mixtures which are used for the printhead which already exists. The main function of the jet is to shape and deposit the printed mixture in a way that it corresponds to the required geometry of the product. The thesis contains a research focused on the issues of 3D printing such as properties of concrete flow, influence of the shape and size of the end of the jet on printing and individual mechanisms related to the optimal use of these jets. The second part of the thesis contains the analysis of knowledge and the determination of the appropriate parameters for the construction of the jet. These parameters influence the geometry and the quality and effectiveness of production. The practical part of the thesis is focused on the possible structural design of the jet adjustment based on the knowledge from the research part of the thesis. The practical part also deals with the design of the jet in a way the flaws and imperfections occurring in case of the previous constructions of the jets. In case of use of the jet designed in the corresponding way, the production can be substantially accelerated, and the quality of products can be substantially higher.
Mechanical design of 3D printing head for concrete mixtures
Slavíček, Jakub ; Němeček, Stanislav (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with a design and manufacture of an active print head used for 3D printing of concrete mixtures. The aim is to ensure functional parameters of the print head at a minimal mass. Extrusion of the material from the print head is ensured by a screw conveyor, shaping of the material is carry out by a rotatably mounted nozzle provided with trowels. The dimensioning of the main elements of the print head is based on the parameters measured during tests with the older version of the print head and on the FEM analysis. The print head was manufactured and is able to extrude concrete mixture with an admixture of aggregate (fraction 4–8 mm) at a rate of 0,5–2 m3•h-1. The weight of the print head is 16.4 kg, which is 30 percent less than an older print head weighed. The manufactured print head was tested during the printing of a real object and met all the required parameters. The print head is ready for implementation in a machine providing large-scale printing of parts in the construction industry.
Design of special extruder for 3D printing
Maňák, Juraj ; Vetiška, Jan (referee) ; Pavlík, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the design of a print head for 3D printing of cement mixtures. The work discusses current 3D concrete printing technologies, concrete transport options, and the properties of concrete mixes and admixtures. Next, three conceptual printhead solutions and two shaft bearings are proposed. Using multi-criteria analysis, the resulting variant is selected and it is structurally processed. The designed printhead allows continuous printing and mixing of the cement mixture and admixture of the setting accelerator.
Parametres of 3D printing of concrete
Navrátil, David ; Szabari, Mikuláš (referee) ; Kočiš, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the investigation of 3D printing parameters of concrete in the context of minimizing imperfectly homogenized mixtures with known printing methods. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the research, which is divided into three parts. In the first part of the research is a topic dealing with known technologies of 3D printing from concrete. The second part of the research is devoted to the description of the individual components of 3D printing equipment. As the last part of the research is the determination of basic parameters of 3D printing from concrete, including their description. The second part of the thesis starts with the system analysis and formulation of the problem. This is followed by a listing of the identified parameters of the printers offered by the selected companies. Then, a multicriteria analysis was performed to decide on the printer with optimal parameters, which are associated with minimizing the waste of the imperfectly homogenized mixture. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the possible continuation of the problem, together with its own recommendations for practice.
Development of materials for 3D printing of elements meeting the requirements of transport structures
Romanová, Dorota ; Melichar, Jindřich (referee) ; Žižková, Nikol (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the use of supplementary cementitious materials as a partial replacement of Portland cement in cement composites, focusing on the requirements of transport constructions. The theoretical part consists of a description of the input raw materials as well as cement substitutes, the studied properties of the 3D printed mixtures and a description of the characteristics of the technology. The practical part is focused on the experimental testing of the selected properties with monitoring of the influence of polymer and bio-polymer additive dosage in the proposed formulations and subsequent analysis of the most convenient one for 3D printing.
