USAGE OF 3D PRINTING IN PHOTOSTRESS INVESTIGATION

In this paper a theoretical analysis of load cases will be constructed, which are the most difficult to be determined during numeri-cal simulations. The development of the design principles and methods are significantly influenced by technology development. Inappropri-ate design procedures and incomplete knowledge of the loads presents a significant risk factor. A strong emphasis should be put on determin-ing the applicable conditions of coating layered optical photostress investigations for simplification of product validation. Future research should be focused on the views of industry representatives. Particular attention should be paid to the further clarification of the used 3D printing material properties and characteristics because these determine the conditions and limits of applicability. This would be a new application field of 3D printing.
