World's first DLP resin for 3D printing custom wear parts
Unmatched durability and precision with iglide® DLP resins
Digital Light Processing (DLP) cures light sensitive resin layer by layer to rapidly produce photopolymer parts. iglide® DLP resin, the first of its kind, delivering 3.5× to 60× longer service life than standard resins, is engineered for wear resistant motion parts like gears, pairing DLP speed with 35 µm resolution to capture micro teeth, thin walls, and precise bores often beyond SLS powders and FDM filaments. DLP excels on small, highly detailed parts, while SLS suits uniform builds and higher impact loads. Versus FDM, DLP delivers smoother surfaces and tighter tolerances with less post processing. iglide resins can be purchased directly from the shop, or through the igus 3D printing service with CAD uploads, service life calculator, and instant quoting, Printing profiles for Asiga and Formlabs Form 4 available in download section of resin product pages.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Digital Light Processing cures liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer with projected light, enabling very fine feature detail.
igus offers the world’s first wear-resistant DLP resin developed for functional wear parts like gears.
igus lists at least 3.5× and up to 60× longer service life vs. standard 3D-printing resins in wear applications.
Our DLP Resins offer resolution up to 35 µm and feasibility of very small gear modules (down to ~0.2).
Small, intricate wear parts and fine-pitch gears where high detail and smooth surfaces are important.
The resins support long-term use up to 176 °F (80 °C); and provides print profiles for leading DLP/LCD platforms and specifically mentions Asiga and Formlabs Form 4 compatibility. Check the specific resin grade for exact limits
No. igus DLP parts are dry-running and low-maintenance like other iglide® wear materials.
DLP delivers the highest feature resolution and smoothest surfaces; SLS tends to win on toughness and enclosed features; FDM offers large formats and multi-material options
Both are possible. You can shop the resin or use the igus 3D-printing service to order finished parts.
igus’ 3D printing service offers fast quoting and parts in ~2–3 business days depending on method and queue.
