3D printing

Find out why 3D printed gears are the future!

If a polymer gear can do what a metal one can do but is more cost-effective, you can have design flexibility and they can be produced in less than a week, ask yourself why you aren’t 3D printing your gears….

To print or not to print…. that is the question…

The world is adapting so quickly. How we live, how we use technology, how we communicate, it is interesting to watch people discover things that they were curious about. Here an igus® engineer explains how the 3D bug caught him.

Additive manufacturing: when 2 become 1

Engineering plastics companies have been developing and producing 3D printing materials for years but igus® has taken this one step further in recent times and are now fusing two materials together!

Putting our 3D printed parts to the test

At igus®, we recognise the importance of wear and friction in industry. It comes as no surprise, then, that our core beliefs are based on wear-resistant polymers that naturally minimise wear and increase the service life of parts. Thanks to their tribological properties, our iglidur® parts are ideal for myriad applications and industries.
