I8-ESD: Electro-statically disipative laser sintering material

Laser sintering powder for all commonly used laser sintering systems and 3D print service for wear-resistant components

Electrostatically dissipative laser sintering material for long-lived, abrasion-resistant 3D printing components. Ideal for applications in the electronics industry, where ESD properties are essential for avoiding damage to electronic components. Also interesting for all other industries where it is important to avoid electrostatic charges.

Moreover, iglide® I8-ESD is especially remarkable for its especially great rigidity, which ensures that produced parts exhibit less deformation given the same load. Like all other igus® 3D printing materials, I8-ESD contains solid lubricants which ensure especially low friction and make additional lubrication unnecessary.

With its five decades of expertise in wear-resistant components made of self-lubricating high-performance polymers, igus offers new possibilities in 3D printing. The iglide polymers have been specifically developed for 3D printing and are a lot more wear-resistant compared to regular 3D printing materials. Hence, wear resistance and friction are at the same level as with conventionally produced iglidur plain bearings. This shows that the igus 3D printing materials have been designed specifically for industrial use as durable function parts.

The iglide 3D printing polymers are thoroughly tested in the in-house test lab with regard to wear and friction. That way, the service life of igus 3D printing components, e.g. as gears or plain bearings, can be calculated online in advance. In addition to special polymers for applications in specific surroundings, igus offers expert advice, practical online tools and configurators, as well as free samples of our materials and products made out of them.
