Self-lubricating and maintenance-free technologies and components from igus® are already playing a central role in most assembly kits and blueprints for 3D printers. Tribologically optimized high-performance plastics insure better 3D printing and lower costs. With its modular motion plastics® system, igus® enables maximum design freedom for individual applications in the area of 3D printing. drylin® linear bearings are almost noiseless as no metal bearings are used and dryspin® lead screw nuts insure efficient and precise adjustment of the print bed. In addition, igus® energy supply chains increase machine operating times, making corkscrews and general cable failures a thing of the past. Extremely constricted installation spaces, very small bend radii, short assembly times are all benefits of our products, which have no minimum order quantity.

Benefits of igus parts for 3D printers:

Self-lubricating and maintenance-free
Silent operation and smooth sliding
Long service life guaranteed
Corrosion and dirt resistant
A wide array of variants and material types

Application Examples

House construction

3D printing and house construction? Do they go together? The example of the Netherlands "Europe Building" in Amsterdam's marine quarter shows that it works. drylin® E gantry robots and the engineering expertise of igus® made it possible.

Our laser sintering material and Tribo-filament are rigorously tested

For prototypes or small series, extremely abrasion-resistant and wear-resistant tribo plastics are used for additive production. Along with the laser-sintering (SLS) method or filaments (FDM/FFF) make it possible to directly use the printed bearing or test the functioning of the printed bearing reliably and conclusively. In our own igus® test laboratory, the Tribo-optimized materials are tested for resistance to wear and abrasion and compared with conventional materials.

Test: Abrasion resistance of the laser sintering material

Test: Wear resistance of the Tribo-Filament

igus systems 3D printer for printing large objects

Material Information: News; September 17, 2019

In the theater and film industry Opportunity 3D printing of large objects is very attractive. The traditional approach, which is to machine a block of polyurethane foam using a 5-axis milling machine, is a slow, expensive and very limited solution. A key advantage of 3D printing over milling is that hollow objects can be produced.

Looking for a solution to 3D print larger models and special items for the theatrical industry, engineer and designer Richard Grant decided to go the route of building a 3D printer of his own design. As a base component, he used the system drylin ^® E from igus ^® .

After earning a multi-disciplinary engineering degree from Brunel University and then a postgraduate degree in 3D printing from Stafford College, Richard Grant used cutting-edge technology years before it became mainstream.

"I often have to combine conceptual ideas into technologies," he says, "that's my niche." “I have two very good FDM 3D printers that I have been using for several years and they fit me well. Due to the fact that I was tasked with creating large structural elements, I was looking for a larger 3D printer. Being an engineer, I decided to build my own. With a large format 3D printer, I can print anything large, whether it's a stage element or a prop,” says Richard.

Wanting to expand the possibilities of 3D printing, igus ^® wanted to support the developer's project. “The advantage of igus is that we can examine system performance data,” explains Adam Sanjurgo, igus ^® Specialist for Engineering Plastics and Linear Automation Systems. “Collecting real data in this unique large 3D printer project is very important to us.”

igus 9 linear system0214 ® drylin ^® W proved to be a great asset to Richard Grant's project. drylin ^® W is supplied as standard with a 500x500 mm working space and a short 100 mm pick-up. Richard removed the vertical axis and created a large frame with homemade (3D printed) parts to give a printable area of approximately 450x450x1600mm.
