The bicycle industry is growing rapidly and designers and manufacturers are trying to establish ways to make bikes lighter, quieter and more efficient. By replacing traditional metallic bearings with plastic is a start….
It is true, you are reading that correctly. One of the most important questions asked of us over the last few years is “how to reduce single use plastic?”. So, with this in mind, we are releasing a bike made from recycled plastic!
FDA is vital for many industries and having the ability to 3D print parts is crucial but special FDA material needs to be available.
Luckily at igus® we have a number of FDA 3D printed materials available, covering many different criteria’s such as high temperatures, chemical resistant and hard wearing.
This topic is one that will continue to circle and never disappear.

For many designers in industries such as agricultural and construction machinery, the development in the construction machinery market represents a revolution and with this revolution comes a need for change and new solution concepts.
