3D printing for industrial applications
Abrasion-resistant plastics with a service life up to 50 times longer than that of conventional materials
3D printing materials from igus are the only filaments, powders and synthetic resins specifically designed to counteract friction and wear.
Our 3D printing materials guarantee zero maintenance thanks to integrated solid lubricants, and a longer service life than any conventional plastics (such as, for example, POM, ABS or nylon) and components with a level of robustness comparable to that of injection-moulded parts. Discover our range of materials for FDM, SLS and DLP 3D printing.
In case you don't own a 3D printer, would you like igus to print wear-resistant components for you?
With our online 3D printing service, you can easily upload a CAD file and even calculate the service life of your component. We will manufacture your individual components or series from our in-house materials. Your order will be ready to ship in one to three days!
Industrial 3D printing: a focus on functionality and durability

Industrial 3D printing is the key process for the rapid and cost-effective production of prototypes, tools and production parts. Unlike models intended purely for demonstration purposes, industrial 3D printing focuses on the mechanical specifications of the components. Depending on the application, the materials must meet extreme requirements – e.g. high flexibility, stiffness or exceptional durability in long-term use. igus offers the technological platform to seamlessly integrate additive manufacturing into your design and production processes.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Maximum cost-effectiveness: Industrial 3D printing enables functional models and production parts to be produced, tested and modified extremely quickly before significant investment is made in production tooling.
- Direct machine testing: As the industrially manufactured components are fully functional and highly durable, all mechanical specifications can be tested directly on the machine under real-world operating conditions.
- Unlimited design freedom: Complex geometries, integrated channels or tailored solutions can be produced directly, without the need for tools or additional manufacturing effort.
Good to know: 3D printing is the most cost-effective option for prototypes and small batch sizes. As other processes, such as injection moulding, become more cost-effective once a certain quantity is reached, we can support you with our process-neutral advice. Together, we will find the most cost-effective manufacturing solution from igus for your project.
Our 3D printing processes and materials
3D printing process at igus
To fulfil the wide range of requirements of our business partners, our 3D printing service offers three different processes:
- Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
- Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)
- Digital Light Processing (DLP)
Specifications of the igus 3D printing materials
Wherever components come into contact with each other through movement, igus materials are the ideal solution. Our laser sintering powders, tribofilaments and DLP resins cover a wide range of applications.
From food conformity and ESD specification to chemical and heat resistance.
