Abstract. During the machining of components, vibrations can have a negative impact on the accuracy and quality of the end product. Vibrations are mainly caused by accelerations resulting from path changes. Various materials are applied to reduce oscillations and vibrations during the operation of machine tools in mechanical engineering [1]. One of these materials is polymer concrete, which consists of resin and hardener as a matrix and quartz sand as a mineral additive. It represents a compromise between stability and vibration damping. Polymer concrete is currently being actively used for machine tool beds [2]. In this work the design and the construct of an extruder for additive manufacturing applying Fused Layer Modeling (FLM) for polymer concrete is shown.
