3D printing materials for maximum service life in moving applications

Wear-resistant 3D printing materials

Wear-resistant parts with considerably improved wear resistance compared to standard 3D printing materials are manufactured using special filaments and SLS powder from igus®. Further benefits at a glance:

Similar wear-resistant properties to classic injection moulded parts made of iglidur®

More than 30 years of experience in the development of high-performance plastics for moving applications

Tested in the company's own laboratory

3D printing service - simple, fast & with full cost transparency, in as little as 24 hours

Tested strength when compared to machined and injection-moulded parts

Up to 50 x higher abrasion resistance

Test parameters
wear test swivelling

Surface pressure: 1MPa

Surface speed: 0.01m/s

Pivoting angle: 60°

Duration: four weeks

Shaft materials: CF53 and 304 SS

Test result:
the pivot test shows that the abrasion resistance of the iglidur® filament is up to 50 times higher than the standard 3D printing materials (e.g. ABS).
