iglidur® 3D printing service: Ordering online – now with price calculation
We print your customised component from lubrication and wear-resistant iglidur® plastics; you can quickly install and use it. It’s very simple: whether prototypes or plain bearing custom parts – with the additive production technology, the design freedom is almost endless. Even complex shapes can be generated at a low cost by working with two different plastics: either the support material disintegrates or the component is created from the conventional ABS print material and the glide surfaces from our abrasion-resistant iglidur® high-performance polymers.
Send us your request, upload your 3D data or choose from our CAD file. Depending on its complexity, we will then deliver your product from 24 hours.
The benefits of the 3D printing service
Receive prototypes and custom parts more quickly
Use the latest technology without having to make investments
Print parts from abrasion and wear-resistant iglidur® materials
Tribological printed parts specially for moving applications
Start by testing products, then order large quantities
You can choose between four different iglidur® tribo filaments
iglidur® J260-PF
Available in yellowGreater chemical resistance and higher upper application temperature, one material from the prototype to series production
iglidur® I180-PF
Available in white and blackExcellent wear and abrasion properties, high strength and elongation at break
iglidur® I170-PF
Available in yellowEven better wear resistance, higher workmanship standards demanded
Four online steps to a customised 3D printed part
How does the printing service work?1. Give us the information concerning your desired 3D printed part, special requirements, etc. and send us your 3D model (ideally STEP) by e-mail or via the upload area on the website.
2. We will send you a quotation for your component; made from our 3D tribo materials.
More motion plastics® for 3D printing
3D printed Tribo filaments
Made for motion
Our tribologically optimised filaments are up to 50 times more abrasion-resistant than standard 3D print materials. This results in higher levels of effectiveness. So you can produce prototypes and small series more quickly and cost effectively. Printed components can also quickly replace wear parts and reduce downtime periods.
3D printing material for laser sinters
Tribo plastic for the laser sinter process
The material iglidur® I3-PL, specially developed for laser sintering, proved to have an abrasion resistance at least 3 times greater than conventional materials for laser sintering during tribologic tests in the igus® test laboratory.
3D print building
Lubrication free bearing solutions and printing
We have compiled the most suitable and popular products for you from our diverse kits: linear guide systems and energy supply systems with low installation heights, the smallest sizes and the narrowest bending radii. Our lubrication and maintenance free 3D printing components allow you to improve your 3D technology while also reducing costs.
iglidur® - Printed components in test
Wear comparison linearPrinted components made from iglidur® materials are more wear resistant and therefore more durable than those from the standard print material ABS. Printed iglidur® parts are the only ones to offer impressive performances in moving applications.
