Welding
Overview
Plastic products cannot always be made in one piece. Design and tooling constraints sometimes make it more economical and/or advantageous to tool the product as two or more pieces. Post moulding joining of the parts provides a means of achieving an end solution Which Method? The choice of which method of joining ultimately depends on the parts material, geometry and size, process capability, volume and cycle time desired. Other considerations such as capital costs will have a bearing on the choice.

Thermoplastic Fabrication
Overview
The Industrial Fabrication process of Thermoplastics is a secondary manufacturing process which can be defined as the use and further modification of primary manufactured sheet, pipe, lining and moulded or formed profiles using compatible materials and welding methods to produce a final product or system which can be used in conjunction with or in isolation from non-thermoplastic materials in the provision of a service, facility, system or process in a diverse range of Industrial applications.
