The diploma thesis deals with the design, realization, and experimental verification of a transport box with stabilized temperature manufactured using additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology. The first part of the thesis focuses on the experimental determination of the effective thermal conductivity of samples with a 3D-printed internal structure fabricated using FDM technology from the most commonly used polymers PLA and PETG with various combinations of infill types and densities. Based on the obtained results, the enclosure of the climate box is subsequently designed with an optimized internal wall structure with respect to minimizing heat losses, manufacturing complexity, cost, and weight. The design also includes an air-cooled thermoelectric module providing both cooling and heating of the internal space of the box, including the design of a control circuit to maintain the required temperature. In the final part of the thesis, a functional prototype of the device is experimentally verified under laboratory conditions in a climatic chamber, where its reliability, accuracy, and temperature stabilization rate are evaluated. The results confirm the potential of FDM additive manufacturing technology with various infill types and densities for the design of functional components combining both thermal insulation and mechanical properties.
