Gears do not need to be metal. More and more, gears are being manufactured from plastic, either injection moulded, machined or 3D printed.
At igus, not only can the company 3D print (machine or injection mould) your gears, but it can also predict the lifetime, offer technical support and can supply a working gear – not just a prototype, but an actual working, long lasting gear, production ready.
If you have a STEP file, simply drag and drop into the configurator for a price and deliver time.
