iglide® i3-PL, SLS powder

Selective laser sintering (SLS) material: iglide® I3-PL

The material iglide® I3-PL, specially developed for laser sintering, proved to have an abrasion resistance at least 3 times greater than conventional materials for laser sintering during tribologic tests in the igus® test laboratory. This means the degree of design freedom for wear resistant parts has been increased yet again.  

When to use it?

• For all types of applications where low friction and high wear resistance are important
• When an easy to process laser sintering material with high strength is required
• When components with high mechanical strength are required, in particular spur gears, bevel gears, drive nuts, special slides and spherical bearings
• Very good wear properties with anodized aluminium as a counter partner
