A new rapid machining service from
igus UK means custom-designed
components can be made and
delivered in 24h with no minimum
order, making speedicut a costeffective
way of specifying one-offs,
prototyping and low volumes of
components.

As with the speedigus rapid
tooling system, speedicut uses a 2D
or 3D model to produce a fast
quotation; parts can be delivered
within 24h. Engineers simply share
their design, which can be a 2D or
3D CAD drawing, with igus experts
via email (or at www.igus.co.uk/
speedicut), and specify material and
other requirements. igus sends a
quote within 24h and the advanced
speedicut machining cell produces
parts and delivery in the lead time
selected, with options ranging from
one to 10 days for 100 pieces.

The speedicut service uses materials
such as iglidur tribological polymers
which are designed for long life, are
maintenance and lubricant free and
have low co-efficient of friction.
