What does assembly of components mean for plastic thermoformed parts?

After forming and trimming a thermoformed part, the process is far from finished. Plastics can be joined together, and complete assemblies can be put together.

In many technical applications, several plastic parts must be connected to each other, or inserts, reinforcements, brackets, seals, or functional elements need to be integrated. formary takes care of the assembly of components for you: from bonding and welding to screwing. This turns a thermoformed part into a ready-to-use module.

Benefits of Assembly Manufacturing for Plastic Components

The assembly of plastic thermoformed components offers numerous advantages.

  • Reduction of procurement effort
  • Suitable for both simple and complex assemblies
  • Assembly is carried out by experts
  • Assembly of prototypes, small series, and large series
  • Numerous joining techniques available at formary, such as welding, bonding, and screwing

Result: you receive a ready-to-install component
 

How can Plastics be joined together?

Plastic parts can be joined in different ways: force-fit (bonding, welding, screwing) or form-fit (clamping, latching, locking).

Which joining technique is used depends on:

  • Temperature and media resistance
  • Mechanical load / stiffness
  • Tightness / sealing requirements
  • Handling and operating environment (logistics, automated assembly, manual handling)
  • Material (PP, ABS, PC, etc.)

formary evaluates these requirements and recommends the appropriate joining technique for your specific application.
