이구스 적층 3D 프린팅 프로세스

선택적 레이저 소결 (SLS)

Selective laser sintering is one of the powder-bed-based manufacturing processes. The powder is applied in layers with a doctor blade and melted with a laser at the point where the component is to be formed.
 
Strengths:

• Speed and price
• Dimensional stability
• Strength, good layer bonding
• Toughness: elongation at break is greater than 8%
• Ideal for delicate components
• Worldwide printing service: igus® has laser sintering plants in Germany, China, and the U.S.

Weaknesses:

• Limited material selection

융합 적층 모델 제작 (FDM)

FDM은 플라스틱과 같은 재질이 용융되어 노즐을 통해 층층이 적용되는 3D 프린팅 공정입니다. 이는 용융 스트랜드 적층이라고도 합니다.
 
강점:

• 조달 비용을 절감하는  3D 프린터
• 간편하게 장착
• 다양한 재질 프린팅 가능
• 고온 재료를 포함한 다양한 재질 선택 범위

약점:

• 층간 안정성  감소
• 지지 재료 필요
• 가격

print2mold (래피트 툴링)

The Rapid Tooling method uses an individual 3D model to design and manufacture an injection mould. Depending on requirements, the mould is manufactured of plastic with stereolithography or of metal with selective laser melting (SLM).

Strengths:

• Possible with all iglidur plastics
• Costs up to 80% less than regular injection moulding
• Special injection-moulded parts in as little as five business days
• Ideal for prototypes and pre-production runs using the original material

Weaknesses:

• Only parts without undercuts
• Higher costs than those for 3D printing

Multi-material 3D printing

The FDM method allows additive manufacturing of parts from two different materials. This is advantageous when the component needed must exhibit both great stability or rigidity and optimised sliding performance. Moreover, 3D printed parts can be overmoulded with injection moulding materials, combining the geometrical freedom of 3D printed wear-resistant elements with the special properties of injection moulding and all iglidur plastics.
 

재작업 및 마무리 (레이저 소결)

3D printed components have a rougher surface finish. In such uses as plain bearings, the surface finish quickly becomes smoother, so that the effect in application is minor.

• Smoothing: By smoothing components, the surface roughness is greatly reduced which improves the feel. Vibratory finishing is especially well suited to parts with simple geometry and wall thicknesses of at least 1mm. The component is put into a drum with abrasives and water and polished smooth. Chemical polishing is better for surface treatment of complex components.
• Colouring: Laser-sintered components can be coloured by means of infiltration. The price of parts coloured black can be determined in the online 3D printing service, many other colours are available upon request.
• Mechanical rework: This is offered when a component requires threads or threaded inserts, for instance. Mechanical rework is also necessary if components are to be manufactured with specific dimensions and tight tolerances. This service is available upon request.

Prices for black colouring and mechanical polishing can be determined quickly and free of charge in the 3D printing service. Just upload a STEP file and get prices and delivery times immediately.

3D 프린팅 재질

Our 3D printing materials are based on high-performance plastics used to produce wear-resistant components. Filaments and laser sintering powder are developed internally by our engineers and continuously optimised to increase sliding capacity and minimise wear. iglidur materials for 3D printing have also been developed for such special environments as contact with food and very high temperatures. We use our materials to manufacture customer orders, but they can also be purchased online.

왜 이구스에서 3D 프린팅을 선택해야 하나요?

With its five decades of expertise in wear-resistant components made of self-lubricating high-performance plastics, igus brings new possibilities to the 3D printing industry. We offer solutions developed specifically for moving applications in which usual materials would quickly reach their limits – our plastics exhibit wear resistance up to 50 times that of standard 3D printing plastics. iglidur polymers and the products they are used to make are tested extensively for wear, friction, and durability in our in-house test laboratory. In addition to special plastics for applications in special surroundings, we offer expert advice, practical online tools and configurators, and free samples of our materials and the products they are used to make.
