Laser sintering for compliance with food-specific regulations
The laser sintering material iglide i6 complies with the food-specific regulations of the FDA and of EU 10/2011 and can therefore be used in numerous applications in the food and beverage industry. Due to the SLS method, special parts, prototypes and volumes can be made in our 3D printing service in quantities from 1 to 10,000 in only 3 days. Out of all the 3D printing materials that are processed by igus and are compliant with food-specific regulations, iglide i6 is chosen the most frequently. This is due to the greater strength, better surface and lower component price.
The component materials of iglide i6 make this high-performance polymer not only especially hygienic but also especially capable of sliding. It is therefore often requested for applications in which an especially low degree of friction is required, for example worm wheels. The SLS powder can be purchased in
our shop and processed with all regular laser sintering equipment.
