Complex 3D printed objects produced from high-performance materials

3D printing is a cost-effective alternative to injection molding for producing complex parts for prototypes, single orders or small quantities. igus® prints components using our engineered composite plastic iglide® printing materials, which have been proven to last up to 50 times longer than standard 3D-printing materials inside moving applications. We extensively test our high-performance polymers inside our 41,000-square-foot test lab to ensure every 3D-printed part offers exceptional wear resistance comparable to injection-molded components. All igus® 3D-printed parts are low-friction, maintenance-free and self-lubricating.

Benefits:

  • Selection of various iglide® materials for moving applications
  • Individual components with wear rates similar to injection-molded parts or bar stock
  • Rapid production, even for complex components
  • Easily upload and order your CAD file online
  • Necessary adaptations and optimizations possible

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.
