Abstract

3D models of piezoelectric and optical elements which assembled from microstructures of a certain geometry were developed. These models were prepared for printing on a 3D printer, considering the specifics of their geometry and the small size of each of the cells. After several printing attempts, designed prototypes were obtained using SLA technology with synthesized plastics. These prototypes were investigated for the presence of defects and the quality of the resulting elements (preservation of the necessary microcell structures). An analysis was carried out and a technology for printing elements of this type on a 3D printer was obtained. These designs can be used in practice as piezoelectric or piezoacoustic elements when a piezoelectric powder is added to a polymer, for example, in ultrasonic flowmeters, or used to create optical structures, for example, diffractive optical elements. They will have properties different from the properties of elements obtained by standard methods, due to using of microcells with a certain geometry in their constructions.
