Finding spare parts for vintage cars is usually difficult, if not impossible. It is a known problem and especially tough for exotic vehicles and rare models. The igus online 3D printing service provided a remedy: The required shaft, with worm gear and gear, was printed cost-effectively and in a short time from the abrasion-resistant iglidur i6 SLS plastic.
The company Scaled 3D from Great Britain has developed a four-wheeled vehicle in its “Chameleon” project that consists exclusively of 3D-printed components. During tests, the steering system design attracted negative attention. For the application to remain fully 3D printed, the company began looking for a tough, wear-resistant material that would be more suitable for the bearing points.
University students on the Arrabona Racing Team, based in Hungary, are building a race car that is to be especially reliable and lightweight. The components must be extremely lightweight so that the overall vehicle can be as light as possible. They must also require no lubrication or maintenance.
