Abstract

The thesis describes the design and the realization process of a printhead suitable for 3D printing of the laboratory glass equipment. The main goal is to develop and produce the printhead prototype and its induction heating, above the melting temperature of borosilicate glass and to verify whether it is possible to use this head for manufacture of laboratory equipment with sufficient quality and precision, for both, basic and advanced chemistry experiments. The printhead in this work is heated by induction heating, which utilizes the mutual resonance of the magnetic fields. Operating on its own resonance frequency, it helps to maintain the energy consumption on very low level. Standard inert laboratory glassware is used as a printing material due to the higher temperature resistance and chemical purity that is essential for laboratories.
