Automation Equipment (NZ) LTD has kept a close eye on the expanding world of 3D printing and in recent years 3D printing technology was a dominate display in many road shows around the world, however these printers were usually only for concept and design work before the part was approved for large scale moulding with higher performance materials. 

Igus^®, makers of the world’s largest e-chain, has set upon changing this, and over the last few years have developed 3D printing filament that rivals their moulded counterparts in terms of application performance. There are seven different filament materials to select from, which means there is a material suitable for almost any application – with Igus filament, you are not limited to ABS or PLA, and you’re not limited to only prototype work. Being made from iglidur^® high performance plastics, the filaments are stable, wear-resistant and have a high degree of resistance to abrasion giving excellent service life. 

Need a one off special print but don’t have a 3D printer? 

Or do you require a non-catalogued sized bearing?

Upload your design (CAD or STEP) to the Igus website, or send your file to us direct and with that information we can supply you with pricing and lead times.

Or maybe you need a small scale run but a mould tool is not economical? 

Igus prints small batch quantities of up to 1,000 units.

The future for 3D printing with Igus^® is truly exciting – whether it is for a one-off special prototype, for a small batch run, or even for 3D printer components, Igus^® have it covered.
