Motion plastics: unlocking new functionality for 3D printed parts, with Niklas Eutebach, Igus
Manage episode 265239096 series 2661198
Niklas Eutebach is Development Engineer for Igus. Over the years, Igus has developed a unique line of ‘motion plastics’ – parts that are self-lubricating, wear-resistant, low coefficient of friction, and tailored for functional use. In 2014, they launched a range of 3D printing materials, using a blend of polymers to provide better motion functionality. This gave businesses across the world the ability to develop their own customized parts with ‘tribologically optimized’ features. This week, Niklas talks about the role of additive manufacturing at Igus, and how their motion plastic filaments encourage design innovation for functional parts and mechanisms.
