The diploma thesis deals with possibilities for processing aluminium alloy EN AW 2618 using Selective laser melting (SLM). The theoretical part contains basic knowledge about production by this technology and possibilities of evaluation of relative density of samples. It also contains an overview of the current state of knowledge about the processing of aluminium alloys by SLM technology. Above all, aluminium alloys of the series 2000, where the main alloying element is copper. In the experimental part testing samples were designed based on the research. These samples can be divided into three areas: single-track specimens, volume samples and samples for tensile testing. Single-track and volume samples were used to find appropriate processing parameters to achieve a relative density close to full volume of material. For this purpose, the effect of the different scanning strategies on the relative density of the sample were examined. The limiting factor has been the occurrence of small cracks in the broad range of parameters studied. Mechanical properties of samples produced by SLM were compared with extruded material. It was found that the material processed by SLM achieves only half the yield strength and tensile strength of extruded material. This is mainly due to the occurrence of small cracks and other defects in the structure of the material.
