Zdeněk Veselý presented the activities of the Infrared Technology (IRT) team at the IR-EMPOWER 2026 workshop, which took place on September 28-29, 2026 in Wurzburg, Germany. In his presentation, he summarized selected results of emissivity and other photo-thermal properties measurements and their application in IR thermodiagnostics of additive manufacturing of plastics and metals. IR thermodiagnostics in additive technologies is very important for quality control of the printing process and optimization of the properties of manufactured components. Selected results from project ESTIMATION were presented. This workshop followed up on the successful previous meeting, which took place in 2024 in Bilbao, Spain.

Educational Demonstrator of Thermodiagnostic Device in 3D Printing Technology presented at the iCAT Conference in Slovenia
Zdeněk Veselý presented an educational demonstrator of a thermodiagnostic device in 3D printing at the international conference iCAT 2026 (International Conference on Additive Technologies), which was held in April at the University of Maribor in Slovenia. The results of the development of a specialized complex measurement system for IR thermodiagnostics of the FLM printing process were summarized in his presentation. The complex measurement system consists of hardware and software parts, examples of thermodiagnostics of selected printing tasks were also presented. This specialized measurement system, developed within the OPTHERM project, is used for optimization of 3D printing process to increase the quality and strength of printed components.

OPTHERM: invitation to the project workshop 20. 5. 2026
We invite you to the final workshop of the Czech-Bavarian project OPTHERM, implemented in cooperation with the Technical University of Applied Sciences in Regensburg. The results of the OPTHERM project and our own miniature IR cameras and mini computers developed specifically for the thermodiagnostics of the 3D printing process of plastics will be presented. You will also have the opportunity to actively participate and discuss with experts the thermodiagnostics in 3D printing. The workshop will take place on 20. 5. 2026 at the premises of the NTC UWB in Pilsen. Registration is possible directly on the OPTHERM website (optherm.eu).
