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).

OPTHERM: Invitation to a workshop to be held on 29. 4. 2026 at the Faculty of Education of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice
On April 29, 2026, a workshop on the OPTHERM project will be held in České Budějovice at the Faculty of Education. The presentations will introduce the OPTHERM project itself, its goals and the results achieved during its solution. The workshop will focus on additive technologies, especially 3D printing of plastics, thermodiagnostics in 3D printing and optical properties of filament materials and printed parts. During the workshop, an educational demonstrator of thermal diagnostics in 3D printing will be presented, including a practical demonstration on a prepared print job.
