iglidur® tribo filament for 3D printers

igus® presents world's first tribo filament for 3D printers

New material is up to 50 times more abrasion-resistant than conventional 3D printer materials

The tribo specialist igus® has been researching the 3D printer filament field to provide its customers with even more flexibility. For instance, they can design custom parts or manufacture prototypes whilst simultaneously relying on the tested service life of igus® materials. At the moment we offer two materials: the highly wear resistant iglidur® I170-PF and the flexible iglidur® I180-PF. The starter kit with 25 g material for your first trials are made of iglidur® I170-PF with 1,75 mm - 3 mm and the material iglidur® I180-PF are in preparation.
 
Typical applications:Prototype construction, small batches, test installations

Future technology: 3D printer with igus® products – without lubrication

3D printers can print three-dimensional workpieces with computer controls. On one hand advantages include the avoidance of high tooling costs and the fact that no excess material needs to be machined, making 3D printing a cost-effective method. On the other, there are no limits to geometric design, making the production of otherwise impossible and unusual shapes possible.

More than 100,000 products available! Delivery and consultation Mon-Fri from 7am-8pm and Sat from 8am-12pm!
