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.
High machine availability is enabled by the integrated IO-Link interface, which provides access to sensor parameters, diagnostics and process data.
An independent jury comprising top-class experts from political and business communities, research, and the media, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing.
