FDM Filament designed for wear-resistant motion parts
Maintenance-free, grease-free functional components with widely compatible filaments
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most widely used 3D printing process, melting filament and extruding it through a nozzle layer by layer. igus® FDM filaments are wear resistant, self-lubricating, and lubrication-free motion plastics, so parts go straight into applications, not just prototypes. Common parts include bearings, gears, rollers, and housings with low friction and long service life. Order parts via our custom 3D printing service with CAD uploads, a service life calculator, and instant quoting, or buy FDM materials for in house printers. Print profiles are available for Prusa, Ultimaker, and Bambu Lab. For alternatives, see our SLS powders for uniform bulk parts and impact handling and our DLP resins for micro detail and smooth surfaces.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Fused Deposition Modeling melts a thermoplastic filament and deposits it layer by layer to build the part.
iglide® materials are wear-grade polymers with built-in solid lubricants, formulated for low friction and long life in motion, not just cosmetic parts. iglide materials are self-lubricating and maintenance-free.
igus sells 1.75 mm and 3 mm filaments that run on common open-material FDM printers; downloadable print profiles are available for popular ecosystems.
Depending on grade and application, igus 3D-printing materials have demonstrated up to 50× longer service life in moving applications compared with standard 3D-printing materials.
Yes. i151-PF (FDA/EU, blue-detectable) for food/inspection; i180-PF / i190-PF for higher-temp wear; igumid P150/P190 for fiber-reinforced stiffness. Check product pages for exact temp limits and any hardware notes
iglide® i190-PF notes ~50× higher abrasion resistance vs. ABS in igus testing.
Functional wear components such as bushings, plain bearings, rollers, sliders, and small gears. Ideal for anywhere low friction and steady wear behavior matter.
No. igus wear-grade filaments are dry-running; the solid lubricants are in the material.
Yes. You can upload your CAD to the igus 3D-printing service for quoting. Typical lead times are listed as fast as 2–3 business days.
