3D printing with abrasion-resistant plastics – Up to 50 times longer service life than conventional materials
3D printing materials from igus are the only filaments, powders and synthetic resins that specifically counteract friction and wear. Our 3D printing materials are maintenance-free thanks to integrated solid lubricants. They also have a longer service life than all conventional plastics (e.g. POM, ABS or nylon) and components that are as robust as those from injection moulding. Discover our range of materials for FDM, laser sintering and DLP 3D printing now.
