3D Printed Grippers for the Packaging and Bottling Industries
3D-printed grippers made of our dry-running, maintenance-free, high-performance polymers are up to 50 times more wear resistant than traditional 3D-printing materials. That’s because we extensively test our engineered composite plastic iglide® printing materials inside our 41,000 ft.2 test laboratory to ensure every 3D-printed part offers exceptional wear rates that are comparable to injection-molded components. Our iglide® grippers are up to 7 times lighter than conventional metal grippers and reduce costs by up to 85%.
Benefits:
- Reduce costs by up to 85%
- 70% less manufacturing time
- Fast and cost-effective production
- Individual grippers and small batches - no minimum order quantity required
- Complex shapes can be implemented with 3D printing
- Low-wear and friction-optimized iglide® polymers to choose from
- No external lubricant required - less susceptible to dust and dirt
