3D printing materials for bearings

September 28, 2017 By Mike Santora

50 times more abrasion resistant than ABS and PLA – The full range of iglide tribo-filament options use the same proven technology as self-lubricating iglide bearings. Tested countess times in the IGUS in-house lab, this is the first range of 3D printer filament specifically developed for dynamic applications. Create custom, wear-resistant bearings, prototypes, or other components with excellent strength and wear-resistance.

3D print materials from igus are stable and wear-resistant materials made of iglide high-performance plastics. They guarantee a long service life of the individual wearing parts due to a high degree of resistance to abrasion. The range includes special filaments for 3D printing with the fuse deposition modeling/fused filament fabrication method (FDM/FFF) and plastics for selective laser sintering, whereby a 3D printing service is also offered for prototypes, small series or small quantities of complex machine components. Series up to a quantity of 1,000 have already been printed.

The igus3D print materials are especially advantageous in moving applications due to their abrasion resistance and durability with a tested service life.
