3D printer for concrete l Lubrication-free solution in a dusty environment

The use of cement in 3D concrete printers creates a high dust load that the products must be able to withstand. Furthermore, the longest possible service life and fast maintenance are required. Our bearing solutions and lubrication-free linear drives ensure a long service life despite the dirt load.
