Igus Presents the first tribofilamento for printers 3D of the world

Igus finishes to present in the fair of Hanóver the first tribofilamento for printers 3D of the world. The material is ideal like material for points of support, since it is until fifty more resistant times to the wear that the conventional materials for impressesion in 3D. Thanks to the combination of the new technology of impressesion and the tribofilamento of igus also is possible to create cojinetes deslizantes with extraordinary special forms.

The specialist in plastics igus investigates in the field of the filament for impressesion in 3D with the aim to offer even more freedom to his customers. With him they can build prototypes or special pieces trusting the tested durability of the materials of igus. The result of innumerable proofs realizar in the own laboratory of 1.750m2 of surface is the first filament for printers 3D developed on purpose for applications in movement. In the actuality, igus offers in his catalogue 45 plastics of high different provision like plastics for the cojinetes deslizantes iglidur and, on request of the customer, more than one hundred special materials. With the new filament, the customers will purchase in the future even more freedom to the hour to design the forms of the points of support. This also will allow to build the prototypes with big rapidity and of form quite economic.

Like data of game for the impressesion in 3D can download in the website of igus the models in 3D available for products of igus in format STL and use directly in the printers.

With the printers 3D print three-dimensional pieces of computer-aided form. The advantages are, by a part, the big saving in costs of material to the hour to produce the pieces and the fact of not having to delete the excess material, what converts the impressesion in 3D in an economic method. Besides, it offers boundless possibilities of configuration doing possible also special forms that of another form would not be feasible.
