Abstract

The article presents the technology and process, whereby a small-scale demonstration model and the real-scale prototype of vertical axis wind turbine blades are produced using rapid prototyping technology (3DP) and GFRP surface coatings, which help to improve the mechanical properties. In the end of the article the results of the production process and the advantages of combining these technologies are presented.

Keywords: vertical axis wind turbine; 3D printing; polylactide; GFRP
