Volfík, Jiří ; Slaný, Martin (referee) ; Zemčík, Oskar (advisor)
The content of this diploma thesis is a design of construction and selection of suitable material for upper-carrier part used for racing vehicle, produced by FDM 3D printing with the alternative option to replace an existing part, which was produced by conventional technique of CNC machining. Various versions of the experimental part are analyzed by FEM and compared in terms of safety coefficient with target to select the most appropriate construction design. The chosen version of the model is at the end compared with already existing part, which was also analyzed by FEM.

Technology of waste polylactide recyclation for 3D print
Kecíková, Alžbeta ; Tocháček, Jiří (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the recycling of waste polylactide from the production process and its subsequent use in 3D printing. To optimize the recycling process of polylactic acid, it was recycled with the addition of various additives such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), talc, limestone and chain extenders Joncryl 4368-CS and Raschig Stabilizer 9000. These materials were also investigated with the addition of the acetyl tributyl citrate plasticizer. Samples of the mixtures were prepared on a twin-screw extruder and subsequently a filament was obtained using a single-screw extruder, which was then used for 3D printing by fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology. Temperature towers were printed to obtain optimal processing temperatures for 3D printing. The effect of the additives on the characteristic temperatures and the degree of crystallinity of the PLA was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The effect of the processing on the molecular chain of selected samples was observed by gel permeation chromatography. Furthermore, in the experimental part of the bachelor thesis, the influence of additives on mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity, tensile strength and elongation was investigated. The molecular weight was increased due to the chain extenders. Of the particle fillers for the PLA matrix, talc had better mechanical properties than limestone. The greatest effect of the plasticizer was in a mixture with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate).

Biocomposites based on polyhydroxybutyrate for 3D printing
Horálek, Matyáš ; Tocháček, Jiří (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
The submitted diploma thesis deals with preparation and characterization of biocomposite based on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate. Biocomposites were fabricated with respect to later use in 3D printing. The methodology for testing different kinds of materials and their suitability for 3D printing as well as evaluation of mechanical and thermal properties was established. The first part of this work was focused on the experiments with print temperature and the material flow rate and its influence on the look of 3D printed object and on the material tendency to warp during 3D printing. The design of the experiment method was used for the analyzing of obtained data. It was proven that the amount of kaolin and tributyl citrate has positive influence in reducing warping. By optimization of the biocomposite recipe it was achieved improvement in tensile modulus of elasticticity, ductility, tensile strength, notched and unnotched toughness.

Desigm of the 3D printer for print material with carbon fibers
Chaloupka, Matyáš ; Kočiš, Petr (referee) ; Pavlík, Jan (advisor)
The presented thesis deals with FDM 3D printing method with emphasis on printing carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The aim of this thesis is to engineer the FDM 3D printer designed for printing CFRP and to execute the experiment targeted on comparison of CFRP material properties against commonly used 3D printing plastics such as PLA, ABS, PET etc. The device designed in this work has printing area of 200 x 200 mm with maximum height of the object of 200 mm. The printing bed is heated and the whole device is enclosed. There are two kinds of experiments carried out within the thesis. The first one is focused on tensile strength and Young's modulus of selected materials, while the second experiment compares Charpy's impact strength of specimen with different infill percentage on two selected materials, PET and PET filled with chopped carbon fiber.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) based materials for 3D printing in medical applications
Krobot, Štěpán ; Vojtová, Lucy (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá přípravou a testováním 3D tištěných skafoldů pro kostní tkáňové inženýrství. Cílem práce je laboratorní příprava polymerních směsí na bázi poly(3-hydroxybutyrátu), polymléčné kyseliny a polykaprolaktonu a jejich zpracování do podoby 3D tiskových strun. Byly připraveny tři polymerní směsi, které byly zpracovány do podoby 3D tiskových strun. Pro vyhodnocení termických vlastností byla provedena diferenciální skenovací kalorimetrie, následně teplotní věžový test a test „warpingu“ pro stanovení zpracovatelských podmínek při 3D tisku. Nejnižší naměřený „warping“ koeficient byl 1,26 u směsi poly(3-hydroxybutyrátu) s polykaprolaktonem a změkčovadlem. Ke studiu mechanických vlastností materiálů byla použita tahová zkouška, tříbodová ohybová zkouška a tlaková zkouška. Skafoldy s různými povrchy pro kostní tkáňové inženýrství byly 3D tisknuty z připravených strun s cílem určit nejoptimálnější povrch pro proliferaci buněk. Pro stanovení povrchových vlastností a jejich vlivu na adhezi buněk bylo provedeno měření optického kontaktního úhlu s využitím metody OWRK pro výpočet povrchové energie. 3D vytištěné povrchy byly také podrobeny analýze drsnosti pomocí konfokálního mikroskopu, aby byla určena jejich drsnost a její vliv na kontaktní úhel s vodou a růst buněk. Nakonec v poslední části byly ve spolupráci s Ústavem experimentální medicíny AV ČR provedeny in vitro testy na skafoldech s cílem zjistit, zda jsou připravené materiály necytotoxické, a jak povrch skafoldu ovlivňuje růst a proliferaci buněk. Bylo zjištěno, že dva ze tří materiálů nejsou cytotoxické (obě směsi poly(3-hydroxybutyrátu) s polykaprolaktonem) a že jejich mechanické vlastnosti jsou srovnatelné s lidskou trabekulární kostí. Nejoptimálnějším povrchem pro růst buněk je pravděpodobně mřížka o průměru 50 m s drsností podél perimetru 1,9 m, což odpovídá kontaktnímu úhlu s vodou 74,1°.
