3D printing service
Wear-resistant custom 3D printed parts
Within 3D printing, components are designed as digital 3D models and then additively manufactured layer by layer. The 3D printing service from igus® supplies components made from our own wear-resistant plastic with no minimum order quantity. We offer solutions specifically for applications where conventional materials quickly reach their limits - our plastics have up to 50 times higher wear resistance than regular 3D printing plastics. You simply upload the CAD model of your custom component online and receive it printed in the desired quantity.
Don't have a CAD model to hand?
With our CAD configurator, you can easily create a 3D model for different types. We also offer you planning security with our service life calculator, which can calculate the expected service life of each individual component online.
3 steps to your 3D printed parts
Who is our 3D printing service suitable for?
Industrial 3D printing offers the ideal solution for many crucial problems. Find out more here about the typical challenges that the 3D printing service from igus overcomes. Does your application have special requirements? Then you are welcome to discuss the solution directly with an igus expert.
Has a component broken and a spare part is difficult to obtain?
A spare part can save the machine! Find out how Conti Tech Schlauch GmbH was able to cost-effectively replace a defective cross-threaded spindle using our industrial 3D printing service.
Do you need to deliver a single component or a small series quickly?
A small missing component can cost a lot of money. With 3D-printed linear drives, which were delivered in a very short time, Thyssenkrupp prevented this. Find out more here!
Does the application require lightweight construction or lubrication-free components?
A metal gearbox may be too heavy for the desired movement. It also requires additional lubrication, which is not permitted in some environments. Cor.Sync solved both problems with us! Want to know how?
Special geometry of the component can only be realised at high cost?
Once you have found the perfect design for a component, it must not fail due to the manufacturing process. Discover how the Zurich University of Applied Sciences realised its creative project with our 3D printing service!

Options for post-processing and finishing
Components manufactured using the SLS process can be subsequently smoothed, coloured or mechanically reworked for an additional charge. Mechanical rework can include, for example, the insertion of threads or thread inserts as well as the production of components with tight tolerances.

Further solutions for customised tribo-parts manufacturing
You have a CAD model at hand but are still looking for the most cost-effective manufacturing process for your desired component? Our service for customised tribo-parts can help! Just upload your CAD model and you will immediately see an overview of all available materials with prices for the various processes, including CNC milling, 3D printing and injection moulding.
Customer applications and live examples
Our customers often require 3D printed components to be lubrication and maintenance-free. However, igus also fulfils other application-specific requirements with the 3D printing service.
