Determination of Material Properties of Specimens Produced by Metallic 3D Printing

This bachelor's thesis deals with mechanical properties and current status of 3D printing of metal parts, especially by DMLS/SLM method. Research part is dedicated to various technologies and suppliers in the field of 3D printing with emphasis on printing metal methods. Main purpose of this thesis is to connect the worlds of 3D printing and 3D optical measuring of deformation, so the part of research segment is dedicated to optical measuring and leading innovative company GOM. One of the leading product of this company is ARAMIS and in the context of this thesis it was present during the experiment as a instrument for measuring and inspecting material characteristics, and is present in research part where is mentioned a principle on which this device is working (digital image correlation) as is the device itsself. In the experimental part of this thesis, samples were printed on DMLS printer from company XactMetal, which were then submitted to a tensile test. Measurement was done using DIC based device ARAMIS and inspected for basic material properties in same named program
