Ever wondered what would you do if a major part of an exhibit goes missing on your way to the trade fair? Earlier you would just panic and leave the hope of getting a successful turn out at the exhibition. But today, creating that missing part is possible with igus 3D printing service.
The Berlin-based Blackman Company, a manufacturer of camera motion systems is developing a new solution- compact, remote controlled dolly system for capturing the live broadcasts that would move the camera over narrow tracks. Ferenc Tiefenbach, an engineer at Blackcam, while travelling through Dusseldorf Airport and carrying the prototype of the new dolly system developed for football matches noticed that one of the plain bearings was defective. And there was no spare part! This made the young engineer turn to the igus 3D printing service.
Using the industrial 3D printers, the motion plastic specialist manufactured unique customer wear- resistant part within a few hours!
3D printed product ready within hours
The service of igus 3D printer is quite quick. One gets the product delivered within a few hours of its designing.
Procedure-
- Upload the CAD model of the part on the igus website
- Select the printing material
- Order
The part is shipped within a few hours of its placing and is highly cost effective.
The customers availing the service of igus 3D printer being enthusiastic about it express that despite the size of the company, it has been producing a single component so quickly and accurately which is worth appreciating.
High-performance material for wear-resistant products
From its range of additive manufacturing materials, iglidur l180 is chosen as the material for the 3D printing job. The high-performance plastic is impressive with its wear resistance property. The igus test laboratory has proven its superiority over any other material. The bearings made of iglidur l180 are not only durable but are more economical in operation. They enable maintenance-free dry operation with no need for lubrication.
This makes it ideal for the camera dolly systems from Blackcam.
igus is a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of the plastic plain bearings, linear guides, spherical bearings and continuous-flex cables.
