Abstract

The aim of the thesis is to develop an innovative product and prototype for a social game using additive manufacturing. The focus is on correcting the negative aspects observed in the design of competitive games. The product is constructed based on basic design principles and is based on strategic games. The basic idea is a modular way of executing a game board, which contributes to various combinations of assembly and the possibilities of developing the game. Some components are constructed in the Solidworks programme, while they are designed through the application of a 3D printing device based on technologies: FDM and stereolytography. The final part was found to create new optimal solutions for the detailed analysis and innovation of existing products. It shows the importance of striving for better solutions and focusing on progress.
