Assembly solutions FAQs

  • What is welding and assembly?

    Assembly is the process of joining various fabricated parts and components together to create a single unit product. Welding is a joining technique that uses heat to fuse metal parts together. Other joining and assembly methods include fastening, fitting, and adhesive bonding.

  • What materials are welding and assembly compatible with?

    Welding is typically associated with metals. On the other hand, assembly methods are compatible with various materials including metal, glass, rubber, and plastics, making it possible to assemble multi-material products

  • Is welding and assembly part of a manufacturing process?

    Welding and assembly are usually the later stages of manufacturing processes. While welding is predominantly applied in sheet metal fabrication, components manufactured via CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection moulding can be assembled to form a final product

  • What is the best assembly method for my part?

    The suitable assembly process for your project depends on the part geometry and design, intended application, and material. When uploading parts for assembly, you can stipulate your desired techniques or contact us to discuss the best method.
