How do I use the igus 3D printing CAD configurators?

Paul Gomer | 20. September 2020

A CAD configurator has many advantages. It shortens tedious recurring design work and saves time and money with simple use and consistent data quality. Basically, our 3D printing CAD configurators enable a fast implementation of a variant-rich wear-resistant part by determining individually selected and valid product features. Thereby it is very important to configure a […]

iglidur I8-ESD: abrasion-resistant components with ESD specifications

Paul Gomer | 5. May 2020

Every machine contains moving parts that cause friction during operation. In contrast to metal, components made of wear-resistant iglidur polymers do not require additional lubrication (because they contain solid lubricants) – however polymers cannot dissipate the electrostatic discharge caused by friction. In semiconductor and electrical engineering, a static discharge through components can cause permanent damage […]

Designing lead screw nuts for 3D printing

Paul Gomer | 24. April 2020

The two most common reasons for manufacturing drive and lead screw nuts using 3D printing processes are the construction of functional prototypes and the production of complex custom nuts. In product development, several models are sometimes designed and tested – with the rapid prototyping process, the production of near-series variants and customisations can be carried […]
