Parts 3D printed with iglidur offer high-quality precision allowing for a streamlined process and little noise. The K8400 3D printer, with iglidur bearings and a milled Z-axis, allows for maintenance-free bearings, silent operation, and no Z-wobble.
Now, igus is on a mission to revolutionize both industry and 3D printing further, with the development of a 3D printing filament that allows anyone to produce parts and components that are friction-free and meant to glide and slide with ease.
This mini-revolution is not solely about producing another 3D printing filament, but also about providing a material that is extremely resistant to abrasion — to the tune of 50 more times. Users are able to 3D design and customize their own bearings, as well as friction pads, or any other parts which are meant to have properties that slide or glide. Users have their choice of iglidur I170-PF and iglidur I180-PF, now offered by Filimprimante3D, an online webstore based in France and dedicated to providing users with 3D printing materials.
Referred to as a tribo-filament, iglidur allows users greater flexibility and latitude in creating bearings and products during prototype construction, small batches, and test installations. Igus also includes a library of files for users as a guide, or to be downloaded and used directly as models for 3D printing.
Is this a 3D printing filament that you are interested in ordering from Filimiprimate3D? Do you have a need for 3D printing parts that are required to be friction-free and offer a gliding quality, and have you 3D printed parts like that using another material previously?
