3D printed components in an exoskeleton

Low-friction finger joints for an exoskeleton

In an exoskeleton made for the therapeutic treatment of stroke patients, 3D printed elements that can be designed individually are used. A low-friction plastic was sought for the filigree finger joints. The solution found was iglidur I6, which makes it possible to optimise the weight and precision of the printed components. Thanks to the igus 3D printing service, finger joints individually matched to the measurements of the customer can be manufactured and delivered within just a few days.

igus 3D printing components in Kampf BSF_Slitter rewinder

Anything but standard - Custom solutions for plain bearings thanks to 3D printing

The plain bearings made of the proven iglidur materials, which are supplied from the igus 3D printing service, allow us to design completely new solutions for various applications in our cutting and winding machines due to the individual geometrical designs. The printed components are now also used in batch-produced components. New developments can also be quickly implemented and tested thanks to the test samples that are usually provided at very short notice.

Easelink Matrix Charger with 3D printed gears made from iglidur material

Plastic gears printed in 3D for charging system of electric cars

Easelink, a company from Graz, has developed "Matrix Charging", a charging system consisting of two components. A charging pad connected to the mains is installed in the car park. A connector on the bottom of the e-car drops down when parked over the pad. The charging process starts automatically, without the driver having to connect a cable. Use the igus® 3D printing service to make sure the development of prototypes remains cost-effective while ensuring high quality.

Formula Student racing car with 3D printed gears made of iglidur polymer

3D printed components in racing

Inspired by Formula 1, the student teams of the "Formula Student Germany" construction competition compete with each other. For constructing their racing cars, the Formula Student Team from Weingarten near Ravensburg needed customised plastic pinions, among other things. Using the igus 3D printing service , these components were not only produced quickly, but also made of wear-resistant iglidur material.
