3D printing

Find out how and why you can save costs, time, and materials by choosing 3D print over traditional methods when in need of a high speed, high precision, and highly bespoke alternative.

The 3D print service at igus® offers a zero waste guarantee. Every section of your bespoke-made part is either fused together or laser sintered to ensure no material is wasted, and no excess is needed to achieve the end result.

Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) is one of the powder-based additive manufacturing technologies. Physical plastic components are manufactured on the basis of CAD data by means of the energy input of a laser beam. The plastic in powder form is used as the starting material. The laser is either a CO² laser or an infra-red laser.
