Vintage spare parts from the 3D printer

Finding spare parts for vintage cars is usually difficult, if not impossible. It is a known problem and especially tough for exotic vehicles and rare models. The igus online 3D printing service provided a remedy: The required shaft, with worm gear and gear, was printed cost-effectively and in a short time from the abrasion-resistant iglidur i6 SLS plastic.

Ready-to-install ball bearings from the 3D printer

The company Scaled 3D from Great Britain has developed a four-wheeled vehicle in its “Chameleon” project that consists exclusively of 3D-printed components. During tests, the steering system design attracted negative attention. For the application to remain fully 3D printed, the company began looking for a tough, wear-resistant material that would be more suitable for the bearing points.
