Advantages of Laser Plastic Welding – Compared and Contrasted to Other Welding Methods
Laser plastic welding, in addition to being the ‘cleanest’ plastic welding method, has many other advantages to consider when evaluating technologies for assembly and manufacturing of your plastic products. Hot plate, vibration, non-contact IR and ultrasonic are among the other most utilized plastic welding technologies. We will compare and contrast all the technologies.
