Speedigus can get custom designed parts delivered within 24hrs; it is a new tooling method for injection moulding developed by polymer specialist igus. There are no minimum order quantities, so speedigus is ideal for ‘one offs’, prototyping, low volumes and bridge tooling.

Standard tool manufacture can take 4-8 weeks and is usually only available for minimum orders of normally around 5,000 pieces, making speedigus a far more cost-effective and practical option for lower volume requirements. The standard lead time using speedigus is 15 days from placement of order – all that is required for a quotation is a 3D CAD file, preferably a STEP file and the required quantity – for faster production a premium is charged.

igus currently manufactures speedigus parts in eight common iglidur materials (iglidur G, J, W300, X, M250, P, A180 and H2) as well as igumid G, the igus E-Chain material; the designer selects the material best suited to the application, using the simple online selection tool: www.igus.co.uk/speedigus.
