In the master's thesis, we discussed the thesis on the usefulness of 3D printed flexible mechanisms in applications with high precision. Flexible mechanisms made of plastic composites represent enormous potential. The biggest advantage is the fact that 3D allows us to manufacture complex elements that have high precision, are light and affordable. In the master's thesis, we performed a comparative analysis of the actual and simulation responses of the model upon system activation. In the experimental part of the master's thesis, we also checked the influence of parameters that could cause an inaccurate response of the flexible mechanism. In the master's thesis, we proved that load eccentricity and print thickness are the most influential parameters. With the help of a comparative analysis, we proved that a flexible mechanism made of PLA plastic can be used in applications with micrometer precision, assuming that the flexible mechanism was manufactured according to optimal parameters and that the latter was not operated under unnatural conditions.
