Design guide

Our free white paper helps you with the key principles for designing your CNC components. We give you 12 helpful tips for your turned and milled parts – so you can achieve a design that is optimised for economy and production.

Refer to our manufacturing standards

This guarantees plastic-friendly production and speedy processing of your order

✓ ISO 2768-m/K applies to the general tolerances of the parts with regard to length, shape and position  

✓ The following minimum tolerance widths (see DIN ISO 286) must be taken into account for deviating special tolerances (for linear dimensions) and for fits: 

• Nominal size up to 30mm: IT 9 
• Nominal size from 30 to 180mm: IT 10 
• Nominal size from 180 to 500mm: IT 11 
• Nominal size over 500mm: Tolerance requires individual testing 

✓ Holes and bores can be configured as ISO metric thread (M) ✓ The surface roughness corresponds to the typical, expected qualities of finished surfaces (minimum expected: Ra = 2-3µm)

 
These standards are to your advantage: We can calculate the prices automatically and your order can be processed more quickly. You save valuable time.  

If you have different requirements

Requirements above and beyond our manufacturing standards are possible, provided that a prior feasibility check confirms this. The automatically calculated price will then be adjusted if necessary after the individual check. 

To ask for different requirements, you can click on "Ask for help" in step 2. Alternatively, you can simply upload your technical drawing with the different requirements in step 3 and point out the different requirements to us in the last step of the tool. 

Your questions and our answers (FAQ)

What is CNC machining?
The abbreviation "CNC (Computer Numerical Control) refers to the lathes or milling machines whose movements are computer-controlled in order to produce more complex shapes automatically.

What is special about our online CNC service? It's simple, fast and transparent: You no longer have to wait days for the pricing, you get it immediately. For example, when you change material or tolerances, you can immediately see the changes in the prices. And with that, you can also make a purchase decision immediately. The user interface of our online CNC service allows you to request quotes or send orders directly at any time. And if you don't know what to do, our experts will be happy to advise you.

Who can order CNC special parts from igus? Both corporate customers and private individuals are among our customers. In step 4 of the user interface you can specify this along with your personal data. 

Are there any costs associated with using the online CNC service? No, you can use our online CNC service completely free of charge. After uploading your components, you only have to enter your e-mail address and you can use the tool immediately. At the end you can request a non-binding offer (via "Request quote" button) and then decide whether you are satisfied with it and would like to order it. Alternatively, you can also order directly online (via "Order directly" button).

Why doesn't igus® offer the online CNC service for other conventional plastics or metals? With our online CNC service, we primarily aim at "motion plastics", i.e. plastic parts in motion. In this first step, we therefore only offer our iglidur® tribological materials, which are characterised by freedom from lubrication, wear resistance and low friction.  In the near future we also want to offer CNC parts that are required in the proximity of such bearings. Then the usual housing materials can also be selected.
