3D printing: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Print wear parts hot and stable

Igus has now developed a filament made of the material Iglidur J350 in order to be able to quickly replace wear parts for applications in the high-temperature range. The filament can be processed within a very short time using a high-temperature 3D printer.

Interview with Tom Krause, Igus

Laser sintering at injection molding prices

Plastics specialist Igus has built up a strong position in the field of additive manufacturing - in component production as well as in the development of 3D printing materials for special requirements. Andreas Mühlbauer spoke to Tom Krause, Head of the Igus Additive Manufacturing division, about the importance of 3D printing, from product development through to the production of large quantities.

The future of robotics

Robots have one major disadvantage: they are still a long way from achieving human precision, for example in delicate work, and they probably never will. An interdisciplinary team of developers has set itself the goal of developing a robot that resembles a human being.

Schunk at the AMB 2018

Focus on intelligent clamping technology

This year, Schunk is focusing on zero-point clamping modules, clamping blocks and grippers. Among other things, the company will be exhibiting the electrically actuated Vero-S NSE-E mini 90 zero-point clamping module.

Building prototypes with 3D printing

If the time and costs involved in prototype production are excessive, it can become economically critical for start-ups. Easelink from Graz therefore relies on Igus gears from the 3D printing service.
