The playful metal dinosaur “Rusty” was on display at the igus booth at Hannover Messe 2017 in Germany, where igus produced new tribo injection-moulded parts using printed tools within a mere eight hours. Best known for its energy chain systems and polymer plain bearings, igus displayed motion plastics products such as bionically inspired strain relief components and the 3D-printed gear wheels that igus CEO Frank Blase is holding.
