On 25.04.2017 within arrival of project participants from firms Borra s.r.o. and Zamak Mercator Sp. z o.o. at TUKE was carried out a workshop on selected techniques for studying properties of composite and nanocomposite materials and their treatment. Workshop was held at the selected laboratories of Institute of Technologies and Management, Department of Mechanical Technologies and Materials. The laboratory of mechanical and technological testing focuses on the research of mechanical and technological properties of materials. Project participants from SEZ and ZAM got to know the methodology of the research and the essence of devices operation on the example of Tiratest 2300 tensile testing machine and the one for hardness testing. In the Rapid prototyping laboratory was presented the work on a 3D device type FORTUS 400mc for rapid prototyping of Polycarbonate and Ultem prototypes, and on the 3D printer DIMENSION SST 3D Printer for the rapid production of ABS prototypes. The workshop was continued in the laboratory of CNC machine programming, where the project participants got to know and saw the work on the CNC milling machine EMCO concept Mill 155 and CNC lathe DMG CTX 310 eco. The workshop was completed in the plastic processing laboratory, which is aimed at verifying the functionality of molds, pressing and testing of plastic moldings. On the Demag injection molding machine were performed the demonstrations of injection molding process. Within the workshop the project participants explained the principle of working with equipments: TGA /DSC thermogravimetric analyzer, Shore hardness (A, D), Charpy hammer and Raman spectrometer.
