Abstract

The gradual integration of the additive manufacturing into the common practice involves more complex requirements for the used materials. Although the additive manufacturing was mainly used for the rapid-prototyping purposes, with the development of the high-performance thermoplastic materials, the produced components can be applied not only in the laboratory conditions, but also in the real operation. Therefore, it is necessary to consider also the environmental influences that can significantly shorten the component lifetime. This article presents the 3D printing process for the selected thermoplastic polymers and the experimental verification of the strength analysis of the universal sensor holder together with the quantitative and qualitative comparison of their mechanical properties.
