Zero Lubrication, High Wear Resistance for Additive Manufacturing

igus® 3D printing offers several key benefits

3d printing | additive manufacturing
  • High Wear Resistance: igus® 3D printed parts are up to 50 times more wear-resistant than standard 3D printing materials. This makes them ideal for applications involving high friction and movement.
  • Self-Lubricating: The materials used by igus® are self-lubricating, reducing the need for additional lubrication and maintenance.
  • Low Friction: igus® parts are optimized for low friction, enhancing the efficiency and lifespan of moving components.
  • Durability: These parts are designed to withstand harsh conditions, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
  • Cost-Effective: igus® 3D printing can be more cost-effective than traditional manufacturing methods, especially for small batches and custom parts.
  • Fast Turnaround: The 3D printing service offered by igus® allows for quick production of prototypes and small quantities, speeding up the development process.
  • Customization: igus® provides the ability to create custom parts tailored to specific needs, ensuring optimal performance for unique applications.
