This diploma thesis deals with a design and manufacture of an active print head used for 3D printing of concrete mixtures. The aim is to ensure functional parameters of the print head at a minimal mass. Extrusion of the material from the print head is ensured by a screw conveyor, shaping of the material is carry out by a rotatably mounted nozzle provided with trowels. The dimensioning of the main elements of the print head is based on the parameters measured during tests with the older version of the print head and on the FEM analysis. The print head was manufactured and is able to extrude concrete mixture with an admixture of aggregate (fraction 4–8 mm) at a rate of 0,5–2 m3•h-1. The weight of the print head is 16.4 kg, which is 30 percent less than an older print head weighed. The manufactured print head was tested during the printing of a real object and met all the required parameters. The print head is ready for implementation in a machine providing large-scale printing of parts in the construction industry.
