3D printed plastic gears: SLS method, oil-free & long-lasting

3D printed plastic gears: SLS method, oil-free & long-lasting

Any shape can be realized from resin powder using the SLS method. No molds or machining required.

Igus's "Resin Gear 3D Printing Service" uses self-developed resin powder to 3D print gears using the SLS method and deliver them. We can quickly manufacture all types of gears with excellent wear resistance and no lubrication required, directly from your CAD data, without the need for molds or machining. - No lubrication required. No grease or oil needed. - Extremely high wear resistance and durability. - Rapid manufacturing: Short delivery times. - No minimum order quantity: From 1 to 10,000 pieces. We sell from just one piece. No minimum order quantity! Ideal for rapid creation of prototypes and samples.

basic information

Gears made from iglidur material with optimized wear characteristics have a significantly longer lifespan compared to those made from PLA/ABS/POM. They are ideal not only for spur gears, worm wheels, and bevel gears, but also for elliptical gears, crown gears, racks, and worm gears. 【Why no lubrication? No oil?】 Iglidur is self-lubricating because solid lubricants are blended into the base polymer, eliminating the need for oils or other lubricants. This ensures hygiene and prevents malfunctions caused by debris entrapment. 【Long lifespan, and predictive lifespan calculations are possible!】 Based on years of results, a vast database on wear has been established, enabling igus's polymers to achieve unmatched low wear and long lifespan. Additionally, igus conducts thorough product testing based on actual usage conditions. This allows for accurate predictive lifespan calculations for the products.
