The 3D
print material iglidur I150 developed by motion plastics specialist igus has
now been approved for food contact according to EU regulation 10/2011. By the
certification of this Tribo-Filament that has a versatile use, customers can
now print their custom-made parts which are approved for direct contact with
food or cosmetics in moving applications. The material is lubrication-free and
maintenance-free and can be used even on 3D printers that do not have a heated
printing plate.
With the certified iglidur® I150
Tribo-Filament, lubrication-free special parts for movement in the food
industry can be produced quickly and cost-effectively. iglidur® I150 can be
processed on any 3D printer where the nozzle temperature can be set to 250°C.
Since the high-performance plastic has a very low shrinkage, it can also be
processed on 3D printers that do not have a heated printing plate. In this
case, the igus adhesive film is recommended as the base for the print bed in
order to ensure good adhesion. "iglidur I150 is extremely versatile and
therefore also interesting for many other industries", explains Tom
Krause, product manager for Tribo-Filaments at igus. "It is very tough and
the easiest Tribo-Filament to work with. The material has an impressively high
wear resistance at surface speeds of up to 0.2 m/s." In the igus test
laboratory, iglidur I150 showed a much higher abrasion resistance compared to
classic 3D printing materials for a large number of different test parameters.
Lubrication-free wear parts easily
printed
In addition to iglidur I150, the
polymer specialist igus has five other lubrication-free and maintenance-free
iglidur Tribo-Filaments for a wide range of applications – for example, where
permanent load or chemical resistance is required. Common to all is that they
are characterised by high abrasion resistance and are up to 50 times more
wear-resistant than standard materials for the 3D print. The 3D print with the
tribo-filaments from igus is a good option especially in the production of
complex moving parts subject to wear in jigs and fixtures, in small batches and
special machine construction. For customers who do not have their own 3D
printer, igus offers a 3D printing service for wear parts, made from both the
iglidur Tribo-Filament and its own laser sintered material iglidur I3.
Customers can upload their data, choose the material, calculate prices and
order their individual wear parts directly online.
