Assembly of Thermoformed Plastic Components

After forming and trimming, the process isn’t over—plastic parts can be joined and assembled into complete units.

For technical applications, multiple plastic parts or assemblies often need to be connected. At formary, we offer specialized post-processing assembly solutions, including: Welding, adhesive bonding and screwing. Our custom assembly process is tailored to your thermoformed part’s requirements. Let us advise you on the best joining technique for your application.

What Is Assembly Manufacturing?

Assembly manufacturing refers to the process of joining pre-manufactured individual parts and components into fully functional systems or products, known as assemblies.

Applications & Use Cases

  • Used in both small and large-scale production, depending on the complexity of the assembly.
  • Integrates plastic components and small assemblies into mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, or hybrid systems.
  • Utilizes various joining techniques, tailored to the technical requirements of the assembly.

Assembly Methods

  • Manual Assembly – Ideal for low-volume or highly customized assemblies.
  • Semi-Automated Assembly – A balance of efficiency and flexibility.
  • Fully Automated Assembly – High-speed production with optimized assembly lines.


 

How can Plastics be joined together?

Plastic deep-drawn parts can be joined using force-fit methods such as gluing, welding, screwing and form-fit locking and clamping systems.

The assembly of subassemblies is often used for applications such as covers and sophisticated thermoforming trays for automation from automatic panel machines. Temperature, mechanical loads, handling/application area and material properties of the plastic play a role in the selection of the assembly method.

formary offers various joining techniques for the assembly of plastic components in order to optimally prepare your thermoformed part for use. Based on your request in the configurator, we select the optimum process for your individual project to join your plastic parts.
