Knowing the service life of the bearing system is an unbeatable advantage when it comes to operating moving applications safely and reliably. The igus online service life calculator has been an invaluable tool for engineers to predict the service life of injection-moulded iglidur plain bearings for many years. igus is announcing that, after extensive testing of its fused deposition modelling (FDM) filaments and selective laser sintering (SLS) materials at its test laboratory, the iglidur Expert service life calculator now includes 3D-printed parts: www.igus.co.uk/iglidur-expert.
