Issue Highlights:
Dimensioning and optimisation of directly screwed joints between parts which are made of ABS and are 3D-printed in the FDM procedure
Additive manufacturing is a widespread standard in prototype construction in particular and is characterised by high degrees of design-related freedom and flexibility. Disadvantages are to be found in the long manufactur...
Welding of laser-sintered and injection-moulded plastic components
The weldability of laser-sintered and injection-moulded plastic components was investigated for the ultrasonic and heated tool welding procedures. Polypropylene, mineral-filled Polyamide 6 as well as unfilled and glass-b...
Investigations into the utilisation properties and procedural limits of thermal direct joining
Thermal direct joining offers a very promising approach to the joining of thermoplastics and metals. In spite of reproducible joint formation, the path into industrial application frequently failed due to the lack of a k...
