With so many ways to formulate plastic to get just the right combination of color, texture, strength and durability, it’s easy to forget how the parts will be assembled. However, if the parts will be assembled with screws, overlooking such parameters as thread style, driver speed and boss design could spell disaster on the assembly line.
This webinar will provide tips, tricks and techniques for installing threaded fasteners into plastic parts, whether you’re installing screws in an electric shaver or an automotive interior component.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- The difference between thread-cutting and thread-forming screws.
- The best fasteners for assembling plastic parts.
- How material choices, such as fillers, affect fastening.
- Tips for designing plastic parts to accept threaded fasteners.
- The optimal screwdriver settings for installing threaded fasteners in plastic.
