Building a custom
3D printer requires a number of different components, most important of which is a high-quality component to drive the application. Ball screws, lead screws, or belts and pulleys are typically used for this action, but maintenance-free dryspin
lead screw assemblies are the ideal solution for such an application, achieving quality performance while balancing cost and eliminating external lubrication. igus® offers 3D printer lead screw assemblies in a number of different formats, including
ACME,
trapezoidal, and our own proprietary dryspin®
high helix design for optimized service life and efficiency.
