3D tisk odpadních materiálů pro vysokoteplotní aplikace

Abstract

This master’s thesis focuses on the use of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for the printing of ceramic and alternative materials, specifically derived from waste raw materials generated during the production of tiled stoves. The theoretical part describes the fundamental principles of additive manufacturing, with an emphasis on technologies suitable for processing ceramic materials. Furthermore, the advantages and limitations of these methods in comparison with conventional technologies are discussed, along with suitable alternative materials for industrial applications. The experimental part emphasizes the preparation of mixtures based on natural (clay-based) and recycled raw materials, with optimization of their compositional ratios in terms of printability and resulting material properties. WASP and Tronxy 3D printers will be used for printing, while the influence of printing parameters on the quality of the printed specimens will be monitored and evaluated. A comparison will be carried out between samples produced by additive manufacturing and those manufactured using standard pressing or casting methods. Subsequently, their mechanical and physical properties will be determined, including tensile strength, porosity, bulk density, corrosion resistance, and particle size distribution. The results will serve to assess the feasibility of practical utilization of waste materials in additive manufacturing and to critically evaluate the potential of these technologies for broader application within the ceramic industry.
