Online 3D printing service
20 April 2016
igus has introduced an online 3D printing service using lubrication-free, abrasion-resistant iglidur tribo-filament. These parts are said to be extremely strong even when compared to traditionally machined and injection-moulded techniques, making them suitable for low cost prototyping and low volume manufacturing.

For an instant quotation:
- Drag and drop an STL file into the igus configurator
- With the 360° viewer, check your model and enter the units of measurement
- Select a suitable tribo-filament, the desired order quantity and place your selection in the shopping basket to instantly receive a quotation
Once the order is placed, and depending on the complexity of the design, your product can be delivered in as little as 24 hours.
To see how easy it is to upload a file and create a 3D printed part, follow this link: www.igus.co.uk/online3Dprinting
