And they are cleaned at temperatures often above 100°C. igus offers several polymer plain bearings that have no problem at these high […]
With an upper short-term application temperature of + 190° C and an upper long-term application temperature of + 170°C, the RW370 filament is definitely one of those that cannot be processed with a commercially available 3d printer, like an ultimaker. The engineers from the business unit of additive manufacturing at igus have developed a 3D […]
