From iglide plain bearings made with self-lubricating plastic through to wear-resistant 3D printed parts made in one to two weeks, this company has it all! And their bearings are five times lighter than traditional metal bearings, offering much-needed weight reduction for so many industries.
This conversation with Nicole Lang of Igus and Tony Gunn of MTDCNC is worth listening to because what they’re doing at their test facility is unheard of… If you want to play with these products, order 3D printed parts quickly, or get different materials tested, visit www.igus.com.
