Responsible persons: doc. Ing. Ľudmila Dulebová, PhD., doc. Ing. Ivan Gajdoš, PhD.

Location: Mäsiarska 74

Focus of the laboratory

The laboratory focuses on the verification of mould functionality, moulding and testing of plastic mouldings. At present, the laboratory contains equipment that is used for scientific and research activities of basic and applied research, as well as for the solution of final bachelor, diploma and doctoral theses at the department. The professional focus of the laboratory is the detection of the mechanical properties of plastics and the manufacturability of the production of moulded parts.
