As a tribo specialist we research 3D printing technology in order to offer you maximum design freedom with lubrication and maintenance-free plastics. Whether developing prototypes or small series, you can always rely on the tested service life of our wear-resistant high-performance plastics.
Choose between four different iglidur® materials:
Greater chemical resistance and higher upper application temperature, one material from the prototype to series production
Nozzle temperature 250 - 260°C
Bed temperature 90 – 110°C
Diameter 1.75 mm and 3 mm
Excellent wear and abrasion properties, high strength and elongation at break
Nozzle temperature 250 - 260°C
Bed temperature 90 – 110°C
Diameter 1,75 mm and 3 mm
Even better wear resistance, higher workmanship standards demanded
Nozzle temperature 240 - 260°C
Bed temperature 90 – 110°C
Diameter 1.75 mm
*higher workmanship standards demanded in relation to iglidur® J260-PF
Order our starter kits (iglidur® I180-PF) with 25 g material in two diameters: 1,75 mm and 3 mm.

Our printed plain bearings made from the Tribo filament iglidur® J260-PF are equally as wear resistant as our injection moulded parts from the same material. This has been demonstrated by extensive series of tests. The iglidur® 3D print filaments also have lower coefficients of friction than conventional 3D print materials. This makes iglidur® Tribo filaments the only 3D printing materials to also offer impressive performance in moving applications. You can directly install printed parts such as plain bearings or worm gears and put them to industrial use – in the prototype phase or during serial production.
Furthermore, the new material iglidur® J260-PF is the first material that can be printed, milled as bar stock and from which injection-moulded parts can be made. In quantities as low as one, you can quickly produce low cost components from iglidur® J260-PF with consistent material properties from the prototype phase all the way to serial production.
Our Tribologically optimised filaments are up to 50 times more abrasion resistance than standard 3D print materials. They therefore offer new levels of freedom when designing gliding components that are subject to wear: custom parts and prototypes can be produced quickly and cost effectively – including with a tested service life. Printed components can also quickly and easily replace wear parts and reduce expensive periods of downtime.
For moving applications for industrial purposes
More design freedom
Tested service life also for custom parts and prototypes
Lower coefficients of friction and less wear
Suitable for use on all commercially available printers
iglidur® Tribo filaments can be processed on all printers with a heatable print bed and adjustable temperature settings. All methods that ensure that ABS materials adhere to the print bed also apply for Tribo filaments.
We print your customised component from lubrication and wear resistant iglidur® plastics; you can quickly install and use it. It’s very simple: whether a prototype or a complex custom part. Tell us your requirements, upload your 3D data or choose from our CAD file. Depending on its complexity, we will then deliver your product in as little as 24 hours.
We have compiled the most suitable and commonly used 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 maintenance-free 3D printing components enable you to improve your 3D technology while also reducing costs.
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.
