On March 30, 2023, a field meeting of the Science, Research, and Innovation Working Committee of the Automotive Industry Association of the Slovak Republic was held at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University in Košice. This meeting was organized at the invitation of prof. Ing. Petra Trebuňu, PhD.. Various topics related to current issues in the direction of the automotive industry were discussed and topics closely related to the education process at universities were also discussed. Members of the working committee also took part in a tour of the premises and equipment of SjF TUKE, including the TestBed 4.0 laboratory premises, which is located in the premises of our department and is the first of its kind in the entire Slovak Republic.

DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT, INDUSTRIAL AND DIGITAL ENGINEERING OF THE FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OF TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY (ÚMPaDI SjF TU) IN KOSICE MANUFACTURES A MULTIPLE APPLICABLE RESPIRATOR WITH 3D PRINTING

Research team of prof. Ing. Petra TREBUŇA, PhD. composed of: Ing. Juraj KOVÁČ, PhD., Ing. Marek KLIMENT, PhD., Ing. Jozef TROJAN and Ing. Marek MIZERÁK used ABS material for 3D printing for printing. The respirator uses a multilayer cotton insert, which can also be enriched with silver fibers, resp. o other antibacterial ingredients. The fabric can be cleaned and reused. In the manufacture of a respirator, we use a filter that is able to catch the virus in both directions, both when inhaling and when exhaling. Work is currently underway to improve the design and functional properties of the respirator. It is possible to expect that the institute, based on frequently asked questions about the supply from the ranks of health professionals and medical staff, will start distributing this device free of charge, of course. The shape of the respirator is not the work of ÚMPaDI SjF TUKE. A 3D model was used, which is freely available in the database for users of 3D printers, and the public shares their ideas in it.

At the same time, for the third week in a row, ÚMPaDI SjF TUKE has been continuously printing protective shields from the public call https://pomoznemocnici.sk/.

As at the end of the interview added prof. Peter TREBUŇA current global problems related to the spread of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus forced his institute to reconsider scientific research activities in the field of deployment of reverse engineering and additive technologies, purchased from the institute's own resources, precisely to help medical facilities and ensure occupational health and the subsequent regional distribution of these devices.

On April 13 and 14, 2023, the ŠVOČ department round was held, which was attended by students completing the 3rd B.Sc. and 2 Ing. years of the Industrial Engineering study program both in full-time and in combined form of study.

Final theses were presented, which our students are working on and in a few weeks they will defend them at the state final exams at our department.

We believe that the advice of the committee will be taken to heart by future bachelors and engineers and will help them to successfully defend their defense.

Students progressing to the ŠVOČ faculty round are:
