3D Printing
igus has expanded its 3D printing range for wear-resistant, lubrication-free special parts – now providing service life, costs, material properties and delivery times. Knowing the durability of a 3D-printed component often makes it easier to choose the right material. That’s why igus has added a new service to its 3D printing range. The online service […]
Using an igus® low friction tribofilament and combining it with one of our high strength 3D printing materials, we are now able to offer exceptional wear resistance alongside other mechanical and functional properties. In what is known as two-component printing, similar filaments can be securely bonded together, connecting the two “phases”. This enables two very […]
iglidur i3000 makes 3D digital light processing (DLP) printing of very durable parts in the millimetre range possible iglidur i3000 from igus is the world’s first resin formulated specifically for DLP 3D printing of parts subject to wear. This enables additive manufacturing of particularly small and precise components with a service life 30 to 60 […]
A packaging and processing machinery builder has reduced drag, improved rigidity, increased throughput and raised hygiene standards on one machine family by applying an iglidur IC-05 tribo-coating on a mitre bar application. Machine manufacturer Doel Engineering designs and builds a very wide range of processing machines, often in small batches or one-offs. To plan production […]
You can now print big! Really big! Up to 3M with igus®! With the iglidur® large format printing capabilities, 3D printed parts of up to 3M are now not a problem. With a variety of materials, including FDA materials, the possibilities are endless. In this week’s short video of the week, you can see large […]
Chainflex cables and three-dimensional e-chain ensure reliable operation even with the narrowest bending radii. Whether creating unique store concepts, futuristic concrete stairs and modern building facades, Dutch architectural design company Aectual produces very special architectural projects with the help of its robot-driven XXL 3D printer. For reliable “lights-out” robot operation, the designers opted for highly […]
igus develops a blue tribo-filament for cost-effective production of special 3D printed parts for the food industry Responding to customer demand, iglidur I151 is a blue, easy-to-process material and has the best friction and wear values in its class. This new tribo-filament is a further development of the iglidur I150 all-rounder filament from igus. Due […]
Lubrication-free tribo-polymer iglidur I8-ESD enables the cost-effective manufacture of durable special parts with no minimum order quantity For safe and reliable production in the electronics and semiconductor industry, components are required that have electrostatically conductive properties. This is because even a small electric shock can destroy expensive production lines. igus has now developed a new […]
3D printed plastic grippers save packaging manufacturers 85 per cent on costs and 70 per cent on time. Animals and birds can adjust the power and position of their grip in many ways to suit their needs. Industrial applications tend to be binary in comparison; mechanical grippers used for attaching lids to jars, for example, […]
