Complex 3D printed parts from iglide materials

Complex 3D-printed objects from high-performance materials

3D printing is a cost-effective alternative to injection molding for producing complex parts for prototypes, single orders or small quantities. igus® prints components using our engineered composite plastic iglide® printing materials, which have been proven to last up to 50 times longer than standard 3D-printing materials inside moving applications. We extensively test our high-performance polymers inside our 41,000-square-foot test lab to ensure every 3D-printed part offers exceptional wear resistance comparable to injection-molded components. All igus® 3D-printed parts are low-friction, maintenance-free and self-lubricating.

Benefits:

Selection of various iglide® materials for moving applications
Individual components with wear rates similar to injection-molded parts or bar stock
Rapid production, even for complex components
Easily upload and order your CAD file online
Necessary adaptations and optimizations possible
