Is electrostatic discharge important in moving parts?
Electrostatic discharge can be dangerous so it is important that this friction is dissipated correctly. igus® have a whole range of ESD products and recently have introduced a 3D filament to the mix, iglidur I8-ESD.
What are the main benefits of 3D Printed Grippers?
Speed and cost are primary factors of most decisions made by designers when looking at new parts. With 3d printing as an option, this reduces manufacturing time and reduces cost so it is not surprising that people are using this service for replacing metallic grippers. This blog highlights the main benefits of 3d printed grippers in comparison to traditional metal ones
How are 3D printed parts used in real life applications
There are so many applications where 3d printing a part has become beneficial over expensive replacements. This blog highlights a couple of applications where igus® have 3d printed some replacements parts. From the automotive industry to pushchairs!
