Electrostatically discharging components made of wear-resistant 3D printing material

iglidur i8-ESD is an electrostatically dissipative SLS material for long-lasting, abrasion-resistant 3D printing components. It is ideal for applications where ESD specifications are essential for avoiding damage to electronic components and manufacturing anti-static parts for machines that require ATEX certification.
New product: iglidur® i9-ESD has a lower conductivity than iglidur i8-ESD, which prevents unwanted discharge currents between sensitive electrical components. This makes it particularly suitable for electronic connectors.

In addition to its antistatic specifications, iglidur i8-ESD and i9-ESD are also characterised by their outstanding rigidity, as a result of which the parts are deformed to a lesser degree than other materials under the same load. Like all other igus 3D printing materials, ESD SLS powders contain solid lubricants, which ensure especially low friction and make additional lubrication unnecessary.

iglidur i8-ESD

  • Contact resistance 104 to 107ohms x cm
  • SLS powder can be processed on all regular SLS systems
  • Available in 2kg containers for processing on low-cost systems with and without CO2 lasers
  • Manufacturing time of components in the 3D printing service: one to three days
