3D Printed Rack & Pinion
3D-printed racks from igus® are made with our high-performance plastic iglide® materials that are up to 50 times more wear resistant than standard 3D-printing materials. We extensively test our engineered composite plastics inside our 41,000-square-foot test lab to ensure every 3D-printed part offers exceptional wear rates comparable to injection-molded components inside moving applications. iglide® 3D-printed racks are low-friction, self-lubricating, maintenance-free and can be designed with an optimized tooth shape to enhance their service life.
- Fast and cost-effective production
- Individual shapes and sizes feasible with no minimum order quantity
- Optimized tooth shape
- Low-wear and friction-optimized iglide® polymers to choose from
- Service life and specifications comparable to injection-molded components
The rack configurator
Here you can create the CAD data for various types of racks online. Choose between different types of templates to customize with your requirements.
3D printing service
Whether you need a prototype or functional component, our individual 3D-printing service is a fast and cost-effective way to print gears, racks, plain bearings, rollers, linear bearings, lead screw nuts and more from our low-friction, high-performance iglide® polymers.
Polymer filament and laser sintering powder
- Up to 50 times more abrasion-resistant than standard material
- Wear-resistant components for prototypes and small batches
- Simple processing
- Ideal for tribological applications
- Self-lubricating and dirt resistant
Durability of our 3D printing materials
We extensively test the tribological properties of our engineered composite plastics inside our 41,000-square-foot test lab to ensure every 3D-printed part offers exceptional wear resistance comparable to injection-molded components inside moving applications.
