Problem

Fabforge Innovations, an Indian company, develops 3D printers. To achieve "Make in India", components must be sourced from India. In the past, the linear systems and plain bearings used were sourced from manufacturers that were not exclusively from India. This, of course, included lubrication, maintenance and problematic runs. Also, the parts must have a certain pretension and have different colours. 

Solution

For the 3D printer, the engineers use numerous components from igus® India that enable lubrication-free, low-maintenance, precise and quiet dry operation: dryspin® lead screws and lead screw nuts, iglidur® plastic plain bearings, E2 energy chains for medium loads, also drylin® T rail guides, drylin® N low profile guides and drylin® W profile guides with appropriate carriages and pillow block bearings.
