    Which offers stronger ABS-to-ABS bonding, ultrasonic welding or use of solvent (acetone)?

    Ornerynorsk, We're actually inquiring with two ultrasonic welding equipment makers, since they would know best whether the taller e/d profile would be suitable. Thanks.

    MintJulep, Thanks for the reply. The ultrasonic welding would be preferred because it's a cleaner process, even though capital investment is significantly greater. However, as mentioned, if the energy director cannot be correctly molded, then it would defeat its purpose. I'm weighing between...

    Which offers stronger ABS-to-ABS bonding, ultrasonic welding or use of solvent (acetone)?

    Hello, I have an ABS part with a standard energy director profile (per ultrasonic welding equipment maker Dukane's recommendation) that the plastic injection molder indicated that they cannot produce. The profile is a right triangle, where the base is 0.5mm and the height from center of base to...

    Need help selecting plastic material for injection molding

    Dr. DeArmitt, Thank-you for your quick reply. This device could be used outdoor, but it depends very much on the user. I do believe the device would experience much more to the mechanical stress cycling as described than environmental/thermal stresses. This material would be used on a...

    Need help selecting plastic material for injection molding

    Hello all, I'm new to this forum; seeking help as an inexperienced product designer on the selection of a plastic material for injection molding. I have a small device that acts very much as a clamp for a cylindrical device that could range from 7.2mm to 9.5mm diameter. I have attached a...
