When using additive technologies, we can print products with a very wide range of filaments, which are usually a mixture of a selected material and polymers that bind to form. The determination of the material properties of polymeric materials, such as tensile strength and elastic modulus, can be determined by a standard tensile test. Unlike metal materials, the tensile test of 3D printed polymer materials requires changes that relate to the load speed, the method of holding the samples and are defined in detail in ISO 527 and ASTM D 638. The aim of the master's thesis is to design and manufacture a tensile testing device, perform a tensile test in accordance with the ISO 527 standard and perform sample measurements to determine accuracy of the device.
