The 3D printing of lubrication- and maintenance-free bearings made from tribo-polymers enables a high degree of freedom in the design while at the same time ensuring the wear resistance of the components used. Thanks to extensive test series in its own test laboratory, Igus is able to predict the service life of the individually additively manufactured polymer bearing online. On this basis, customers can individually calculate their desired bearings online.
