Have gears 3D printed

Online tools

You may have a gear CAD model handy or you may know only the dimensions. Either way, our free online tool enables you to order a customised, durable gear within a few minutes. 
Design a gear CAD in the configurator

Design a gear model

Our free CAD configurator enables you to design gears in less than 60 seconds. Just download the STEP file for further processing for 3D printing.

Calculate service life of gear

Calculate service life of gear

Given the application parameters, how long will the gear last? Enter all application data, i.e speed, load etc and determine the service life of your gear.

Have a gear manufactured according to dimensions or drawing

You can have durable gears made of self-lubricating high-performance polymers manufactured in the igus® 3D printing service. Manufacture takes just one to three days and in urgent cases can even be completed overnight. There are no tool costs or minimum order quantities, so batches of up to 10,000 complex gears can be manufactured to economic advantage.  
 
In addition to the 3D printing service, we offer useful services for gear manufacture:
► If you already have a finished 3D model, you can use the gear service life calculator to check how long the service life of your gear made out of iglidur® materials will be given the application parameters and to make necessary adjustments. 
► If you don't have a CAD model yet, you can design gears in just a few clicks and less than 60 seconds in the online CAD configurator.  
Step-by-step video instructions: see how easy it is to have a durable gear manufactured.

3D printed gears made of iglidur® high-performance polymers

► Predictable service life
► Any geometry possible: special shapes and replacement parts
► Optimised tooth root geometry for longer service life
► Self-lubricating: dry running thanks to solid lubricants
 
Last up to five times longer than regular polymer gears
Tested and proven: gears made of iglidur® have a considerably longer service life than machined or injection-moulded gears made of conventional plastics.

What material is better for which type of gear? 

  • iglidur® I3  is characterised by higher strength, is especially well-suited for spur gears and helical-bevel gears, and can be used  for all other kinds of gears.
  • iglidur® I6 has optimised sliding properties and is therefore ideal for worm gears or other gears where conformity with food standards is required
  • iglidur® I8-ESD is suitable for gears where ESD properties are necessary, e.g. for ATEX
