3D printing offers
users new ways to print objects with complex designs. This is a good
alternative, especially for designers, to manufacture components using the
latest low cost technology. igus, the tribo-expert, manufactures suitable
linear systems for use in 3D printers, but also the right printing filament.
With the iglidur I180-PF, igus now introduces an advanced filament that is
easier to process which means that real components for real applications can
also be easily manufactured and used immediately.
After the world's first tribo-filament for 3D printers was
premièred at the Hanover Show, igus; specialist for 'plastics in motion', now
offers its second filament that has been optimised for friction and wear.
"iglidur I180-PF, the new material from our 3D filament range, is even easier
to process than the iglidur I170-PF material presented at the Hanover Show,
because it has a higher elasticity," says Tom Krause, Product Manager for
iglidur tribo-filaments at igus. "It is now already available in 1.75 or 3
millimetre diameter." The tribo-filaments from igus are up to 50 times
more abrasion-resistant than materials that are traditionally used in 3D
printers. These special materials are the result of years of research conducted
in the igus test lab, where all products are put through their paces, so that service
life, coefficients of friction and wear, can be reliably predicted.
Components for 3D

The filaments, and other 'motion plastics' products from igus are
also suitable for use in 3D printers for axis. For instance, igus has recently
released the low-priced solid plastic bearing drylin RJ4MP. The bearing made of
wear-resistant igus plastic, iglidur J4, has the dimensions of the so-called
compact "Japanese standard", which has in the meantime established
itself as a popular size for linear guides in 3D printers. Like all products of
the drylin linear and drive systems, the new solid plastic bearing operates
completely dry and without external lubrication and maintenance. This reduces
costs due to reduced downtimes through routine lubrication and maintenance. The
complete drylin E systems have already established themselves. They are
delivered including a stepper motor in a variety of designs and can be
installed immediately. In addition to plain bearings, lead screws, and linear
plain bearings, igus also offers compact energy chains for use in 3D printers. The
E2 micro series is available in over 180
different variations. Designed for horizontal, vertical, hanging or standing,
circular or lateral movements – the E2 micro can be attached easily to the machine using various
mounting bracket options. A chain opener is always included in the delivery for
the openable models.
