New SLS material for electrostatically
conductive wear-resistant parts

For safe and reliable production in the electronics and
semiconductor industry, components are required that
have electrostatically conductive properties. This is
because even a small electric shock can destroy expensive
production lines. Igus has now developed a new stable
material for the SLS method so that users can make their wearing parts with ESD properties flexibly
and cost-effectively. The lubrication-free special parts made of iglidur I8-ESD can be printed and
shipped within just few days. Read more here
