As car designs become more compact and complex, manufacturers increasingly rely on ultrasonic welding solutions to assemble plastic parts with accuracy and consistency.

Figure 1. Various test samples that have been laser welded in an applications lab (a) and a low-density polyethylene fluid container welded with a diode laser system (b). Direct welding of plastics is ...

If your project requires joining two pieces of plastic and need a stronger connection than you'd get with glue you can weld two pieces of plastic together by using a rotary tool to spin a plastic rod.

Select the right welding system when joining rotationally molded parts. It's often to a designer's advantage to make a rotationally or rotomolded part as simple as possible, then customize it with ...

Industrial lasers are used to process engineering plastics across many markets. Some examples of the common processes are shown in Figure 1, including laser marking, cutting, and welding.

The automotive industry is experiencing an essential transformation because manufacturers require fuel-efficient vehicles combined with lower emissions along with safer transportation systems. The ...

A bolt-on technology to RF welding can seal polar and non-polar plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene. The technology may be particularly useful for medical device makers that want to ...

There are a lot of neat toys and accessories that rely on 3D printing filament. The 3Doodler is a 3D printing pen, or pretty much an extruder in a battery-powered portable package. You can make your ...
