The new iglidur i230 can withstand long-term temperatures of up to 110°C and is free from PTFE. In addition, the material is 80% more wear-resistant than PA12, which is a standard material in laser sintering 3D printing. Compared to all laser sintering materials from igus, i230 has the highest flexural strength. It is available as a material in the shop and in the 3D printing service in 5 to 10 days.

With its electrical resistance of 106 to 109Ω, the laser sintering powder is electrostatically dissipative. At the same time, it reduces the risk of unwanted discharge currents between sensitive components. This makes it ideal for the electronics and semiconductor industry. It is available as a material in the shop and in the 3D printing service in 5 to 10 days.

iglidur i3000 gives igus the world's first resin developed specifically for DLP 3D printing of wear-resistant parts and gears. The mechanical specifications have now been improved by 50%, so that the parts made of synthetic resin, which are hardened in layers with UV light, feature extremely fine details and a very long service life.Now also available as a material in the online 3D printing service.

The update to the 3D printing service tool now gives users all the information they need regarding price, manufacturability, delivery time, and expected service life of the component to be printed. Threads in the printed components can now also be recut.

iglidur i8-ESD is an electrostatically dissipative laser sintering material (resistance: 104 to 107Ω) for durable, abrasion-resistant 3D printing components that can be processed on all laser sintering systems with and without CO2 lasers. The solid black powder is now also available in 2kg containers for processing on low-cost systems.

Our easy-to-process all-rounder filament iglidur i150 is now available on a 2kg spool. This means that spool changes are no longer necessary when printing particularly large or multiple components in one process. This significantly increases productivity and reduces filament waste.

The W360CM-series linear plain bearings for drylin R round shaft guides features improved rigidity for very low clearance at the operating point. The fixed flange bearing is corrosion-free and available in three sizes – for column guides with igus round shafts made of aluminium, steel, and stainless steel.

One of the most precise solutions for reducing axial clearance is the zero-backlash lead screw nut. It consists of several components and is self-adjusting. It is particularly well suited to lead screw drives with high helix threads for quick adjustment of small loads.

drylin T miniature guides are ideal for adjustments in small and limited installation spaces.
For the 09, 12, and 15 installation sizes, igus has now developed linear carriages with selectable spring pre-load. They feature controlled friction thanks to defined displacement forces and quiet, rattle-free operation.
