A 3D printer is an additive programmable device that enables to create real objects in exact accordance with a certain digital model by layer-by-layer printing method.
At present, such devices have spread widely in many fields, for instance, in food production, medicine, constructing, household.
A striking example of using 3D printers is the Polecat remotely controlled plane whose many elements were produced by speedy three-dimension printing method.
A great breakthrough in medicine is expected from the 3D printers in the nearest perspective that implies possibility to create any human organ applicable to be transplanted. The future printers will be able to produce the items out of any required materials, and will help to explore other planets by using three-dimension printing in space.
The most important parameters that ready-made item’s quality depends on are positioning and smooth motion of the 3D printer elements. The Russian Modengy company helps provide this.
MODENGY PTFE-A20 anti-friction solid-film coating is applied onto the printing apparatus lead screws and guideways. As a result:
- Stick-slip motion is eliminated
- Friction and wear of the moving elements reduce
- Device operation reliability increases
- Metal parts corrosion is prevented
MODENGY PTFE-A20 is made on basis of polytetrafluorethylene. Due to its anti-adhesion properties, this product prevents sticking melted polymer onto the printer elements.
The coating has an aerosol package form what makes using it easier and more convenient even in the hard-to-reach areas.
