Model making

Model making is not always some kind of hobby or handicraft. It offers model makers the possibility to express themselves in a creative way. Model making such as ships, aircraft and vehicles are recreated on many scales using construction kits and demanding work that requires great attention to detail. Whether put into motion by remote control (RC) or just as an ornamental model on a shelf – love of detail and precision makes model making so popular.
igus® is setting new technological standards in this sector. Maintenance-free plain bearings, spherical bearings and linear guides offer many benefits especially for model making. The combination of a light weight with high mechanical strength are ideal for high-quality models.
