The knowledge of the mechanical properties of the material used is a necessary prerequisite for the quality design of any structural unit. It applies to components manufactured using Rapid Prototyping technology (hereinafter only RP) multiple times, because it is not enough to only know the mechanical properties of a material from which the components are printed. Other factors affect the component printing, such as the orientation of the printed component, the selection of the component's internal structure, possibility of connection with other materials, etc. The article follows from the previous research of the experimental determination of the bend strength of parts printed by RP technology from polycarbonate, which focuses on bend-testing of samples printed with various internal structures. This article expands on the original research by experimental determination of the bend strength of printed components, which form a unit with another material. The obtained information can be utilised in the design of components manufactured with RP technology using professional printers.

Recently, the Rapid Prototyping technology (RP hereafter) has been increasingly used for a final product, which requires detailed knowledge of designing parts made by the RP technology. In order to apply parts made by the RP technology in robotics, and design in general, in a wider range, one of the most important material parameters is their bend strength. The paper describes an experimental determination of bend strength in parts printed on a 3D printer. The parts were made of polycarbonate. The tests were carried out in parts with various types of internal structure. The achieved results can be implemented when designing parts made by 3D printing provided that professional printers are used.

Marbles are secondary decomposition products formed by metamorphism of limestone. Effective classification of marble quarries in terms of quality enables the selection of a sustainable production method and safety application. This evaluation is based on physico-mechanical properties of the samples. Obtained results of physico-mechanical properties of the marbles were statistically analyzed using Stata 14 and SPSS 21 software. The marbles indicated mostly normal physical and mechanical properties. A strong inverse relationship exists between Abrasion Value and Knoop Hardness Determination that indicates a significant nonlinear relationship. Samples were distinguished into 3 groups of close similarity and related properties. The estimated value of the parameters is in the 95 % confidence interval. The equation obtained by regression analysis was used for the determination of resistance to abrasion.

The article focuses on the samples production of organic material PLA-PolyLacticAcid – bioplastic. The main part describes the experimental testing of PolyLacticAcid plastic and sample production by Fused Deposition Modeling, Rapid Prototyping technology. The article presents selected carried out tests of mechanical properties focused mainly on the determination of ultimate tensile strength of two PLA-BIO plastic extruded horizontally along the width produced by FDM method, Rapid Prototyping. The authors of this article present their results of test materials in the form of measurement protocols recorded in software, the measured values in a static tensile test, recorded in tables and shown in work graphs. Based on the results of the two samples produced from PLA biomaterials and compared to determine which PLA – bioplastic is stronger.

Finite-element (FE) analysis is important instrument for prediction of plastic car bumper tests. Accuracy of FE analysis depends on accuracy of material input data. It has developed experimental methodology for identification of mechanical properties. The methodology leads to more accurate material input data for numerical simulations.
