3D printing with abrasion-resistant polymers

up to 50 times the service life of conventional materials

3D-printed parts
3D printing materials from igus are the only filaments, powders and synthetic resins in the market that specifically counteract friction and wear. Our guarantee for 3D printing materials: maintenance-free thanks to integrated solid lubricants, a longer service life than all conventional plastics (such as POM, ABS or nylon) and components with comparable robustness to those from injection moulding. Discover our range of materials for FDM, SLS and DLP 3D printing now.
