3D printer

energy chain and drylin® Miniature slideways, linear guideways and lead screws in 3D printers

A 3D printer is used to quickly turn a 3D model into a real product, a physical object. The layer structure is computer-controlled and usually made from plastic filament. Rapid prototypes or functional samples can be produced quickly and easily.

The bq witbox 3D printer combines technology in an aesthetically compact housing and relies on lubrication-free products from igus®. With every print, igus® components fulfil important tasks and ensure the 3D printing result.

drylin® N low-profile guide system and drylin® SD lead screws take care of the height adjustment. As a black anodised profile, drylin® N adapts perfectly to the design of the 3D printer. The e-chain system® E045 safely guides all connection cables in every direction of movement. drylin® R round guides guide the print head in parallel in the other directions.

All components are absolutely lubrication-free, move precisely and are very quiet, lightweight and corrosion-free.
