3D printing in companies is booming. Design engineers are printing special components and wear-resistant parts themselves without further ado. However, the projects stand or fall on the quality of the printing material, warns Jonas Burk, Head of Additive Manufacturing at igus. The fact that 3D printing with high-performance polymers from igus is worthwhile is not only proven by the service life tests. Customers can also manufacture their products more economically and faster than injection moulding.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been the hero in the fight against friction and wear for years. However, there is also the other side of the coin: as a persistent material, PTFE is currently the focus of the discussion about a possible PFAS ban by the ECHA. Even if there is no ban, the motion plastics pioneer igus has good reasons to look for alternatives. With new formulations, extensive tests and adapted production processes, igus already offers its customers a wide range of PTFE-free products. Author: Dr-Ing. Magnus Orth is Head of Material Development and the Technical Centre at igus.
