Drapač, Jiří ; Prokop, Aleš (referee) ; Řehák, Kamil (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate the possibilities of application of alternative production technologies in the company Wikov MGI a. s. for the production of gearbox components. The review part of the thesis deals with additive technologies, which are Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Binder Jetting (BJ), Cold Spray (CS) and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). For each method, the pre-production preparation, process with printing parameters and post-processing are described. In the next section, each technology is critically evaluated for applicability to gear components. From the results, the most appropriate application of the technology to one selected component is detected. In the practical part, optimization of dimensions and weight is performed by design modification of the selected component. On the basis of economic and technical calculations, a comparison between the current and the proposed manufacturing process is made.
