In this video, we create a recycled plastic box using plastic welding techniques, eliminating the need for screws or fixings.

Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. It works on the principle of partial transmission which lets a laser’s light travel through ...

Lasers have been used to weld together plastic parts for decades, but until recently the technology had one major disadvantage: it could not be used to weld clear polymers. Recently, high-powered ...

As car designs become more compact and complex, manufacturers increasingly rely on ultrasonic welding solutions to assemble plastic parts with accuracy and consistency.

Industrial lasers are used to process engineering plastics across many markets. Some examples of the common processes are shown in Figure 1, including laser marking, cutting, and welding.

Figure 1. Various test samples that have been laser welded in an applications lab (a) and a low-density polyethylene fluid container welded with a diode laser system (b). Direct welding of plastics is ...
