Versatile rapid machining
27 August 2014
Following the launch of its speedicut rapid machining service two years’ ago, polymer specialist igus has now made the service even more varied.

With a wide range of tribo-polymer materials and more sizes available, including stock sheet in various thicknesses, custom designed components can be manufactured and delivered within 24 hours.
Engineers simply submit their design, which can be a 2D or 3D CAD drawing, to igus. igus then sends the engineer a quotation covering price and the most suitable iglidur material, within 24 hours. The advanced speedicut machining cell can then produce parts and deliver in the selected lead time, with options ranging from one to 10 days for up to 100 pieces.
