Easy and fast creation of custom bearings

Tribopolymer expert igus has developed the world’s first structural plastic filament for use in 3D printing. Developed for engineers wishing to create prototype bearings or small batch samples for real-world tests, the new igus tribo-filament is up to 50 times more wear resistant than conventional plastic materials used for 3D printing. Additionally, it is suitable for use with any 3D printer that has a heated nozzle and uses ABS filaments. 

Available in two different materials; iglidur I170 and iglidur I180, with two different diameters; 1.75mm and 3.00mm, the tribo-filament is suited for a range of printing applications. iglidur I170 has a higher linear wear-rate than iglidur I180, allowing it to produce more robust products. iglidur® I180, on the other hand, is more flexible than the stiffer iglidur I170 and can therefore achieve a higher bending radius for faster printing speeds as well as having a slightly higher processing temperature.
