The diploma thesis deals with the design modification of the circulation circuit of inert atmosphere in the 3D printer SLM 280HL. The aim of the proposed modifications was to increase the efficiency of condensate and flue gas removal and thus increase the quality of the production process. Based on experimental measurements of the velocity field at a height of 12 mm, it was found that in the original configuration of the build chamber, there are sites with reduced flow velocity. The test subsequently confirmed the increased porosity of the samples in the given localities. Subsequently, with the help of CFD simulations, a lower flow distributor was designed, which had the most significant effect on the porosity. Furthermore, an additional outlet and flow deflector were designed, which had the task of streamlining the drainage of condensate and fumes from under the protective glass of the laser. The designed components were manufactured and experimentally verified, which was able to prove the flow improvement and reduce the porosity on the platform. A test was also performed with a magnesium-based material, which proved more efficient removal of condensate and flue gases. The work managed to prove the influence of the flow velocity on the porosity of the component at differences in flow velocities above 0,3 ms^-1.
