3D Printing and Bearing Cages
Powering the Bearings Industry
3D Printing for Bearings Cages
3D printing is reshaping the role of the modern bearing cage manufacturer by enabling the production of lightweight, high-performance components with advanced geometries, improved material efficiency, and reduced manufacturing costs. At Bowman 3D, we specialise in developing 3d printed bearing cages engineered for demanding industrial environments where performance, durability, and flexibility are critical.
As the creator of the world’s first 3d printed split roller bearing cage, Bowman 3D combines additive manufacturing expertise with precision engineering to support both modern and legacy bearing applications. Our solutions include polymer bearing cages designed for reduced weight, corrosion resistance, and improved operational efficiency across rotating systems. We also produce custom bearing cages tailored to specific load conditions, speeds, lubrication environments, and installation requirements.
Using advanced additive manufacturing technologies, our 3d printing bearing cages capabilities allow rapid prototyping, low-volume production, and tooling-free manufacturing with digital warehousing and no minimum order quantities. This enables faster lead times, simplified maintenance strategies, and scalable production for specialised bearing applications worldwide.
