From Design to Print: FDM Technology and Its Use in Research

Are you curious about how 3D printing can make your work in research or teaching easier? Join us for a hands-on lecture designed for employees and PhD students of the Faculty of Chemistry. The lecture will take place on Thursday, 13 November 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in the Dean’s Office meeting room (5th floor). You are warmly invited!

The lecture will offer a basic overview of 3D printing technology with a focus on the FDM method. Participants will learn about the principles of 3D printing and its practical applications in research – from designing custom tools to improving measuring instruments.

The program will also include a demonstration of real prints created at the faculty. The main part will focus on working with the Prusa Slicer software, showing how to prepare your own model for printing, adjust parameters, and find inspiration. The lecture is intended for academics and PhD students who want to explore the potential of 3D printing and its use in the laboratory.

Lecturer:  Ing. Přemysl Menčík, Ph.D.

With this lecture, we would like to launch a broader exchange of experience and know-how among the faculty’s research groups. We believe that by connecting expertise and fostering open communication, we can make more effective use of available technologies, inspire each other, and strengthen our shared goals in research and teaching. Come learn new tools — and build new connections!
