The company turned to us with a request for 3D printing of the grid, which is part of the cooling device. 3D printing became an attractive option for the company because creating a model would require making a mold and the company was looking for a financially viable option for production. 3D printing is a cheap option from a financial point of view since it is not necessary to have a mold, it is enough to redraw the model in the 3D form in the Solid Edge program. Another advantage is the price of the material and its properties, which we describe in more detail in this article. The only problem was the printing, more precisely the dimensions of the grid model. After consultation with the company, we agreed that the grid will be made of 3 parts, which will be complicated using a welding machine. Furthermore, the company demanded that the printout be sufficiently flexible and strong because it was inserted into the cooling device at an angle due to the limitation of the dimensions of the device's insertion space. Therefore, we also created a static test for the company in the SolidWorks program to verify the properties in a simulated environment. The results of the study are presented in the article.
