At the igus® Digital Annual Press Conference 2022, there were a range of exciting innovations from the world of motion plastics. True to the igus® motto “improve what moves”, this year we presented 175 innovations across all business areas on topics such as sustainability, digitalisation, 3D printing and low cost automation.
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!
As an essential supplier, igus® are helping support industries wherever required. We are working in collaboration with the National 3D Printing Society to assemble face shields, that are going directly into hospitals.
FDM is the most-used 3D print method and as such, is a method to which most beginners are exposed as a pioneering approach to 3D printing. igus® FDM polymer filaments provide benefits to every user, whether for prototype or production purposes.
With constant robotic movement comes the risk of cable failure. Learn different movement types and the igus® solutions that give applications a longer service life.
Finding out that a part no longer exists and is an obsolete part can be infuriating and expensive. Luckily, with new technologies, it is becoming easier to remake parts, saving your machines from being thrown onto the scrap heat and ensuring that they can keep going for many more years. Find out how here at igus® we are helping with the fight to keep older machines alive.
Additive manufacturing is a printing process that builds three-dimensional objects, revolutionising the way we produce, with big names like NASA trailing the creation of food to limit waste for astronauts.
Plastic gears are going to be the thing of the future. No lubrication, lightweight, recyclable but there is more. More options for you as the customer. igus® now machine, 3D print and mould gears in our iglidur® material. Which method would be best for you?
