igus® inc.
Our 3D-printing powders and filaments have been proven to last up to 50 times longer than standard 3D-printing materials inside moving applications. We extensively test our engineered composite plastic iglide® materials inside our 41,000 ft.2 test laboratory in Cologne, Germany to ensure every 3D-printed component offers exceptional wear resistance comparable to our iglide® injection-molded parts. All igus® 3D printed parts are low-friction, maintenance-free and self-lubricating. We produce custom 3D-printed components for prototypes and small batches, no minimum order quantity required!
Benefits:
Since its creation in the 1980s, 3D printing has evolved tremendously, with more printing technologies and material types available. Research shows that engineers in North America are optimistic about the future of 3D printing and believe new materials will help advance the industry.
This whitepaper details a new plastic material solution that allows engineers and product developers to print parts with wear rates comparable to certain injection-molded components. Learn more about the wear rates of 3D printed components vs. injection molded components.
igus® continuously tests the tribological properties of its 3D printed parts based on DIN ISO 7148-2 inside our 41,000-square-foot lab in Cologne, Germany.
We cover linear, pivoting and rotary movements on different types of shafts to ensure that our dry-running iglide® 3D printing materials will last up to 50 times longer than standard 3D printing materials inside moving applications.
