Assembly manufacturing for plastic mouldings

Technology

Individual assemblies for technical plastic parts

In the swissplast thermoforming process, plastic moulded parts, packaging or tool carriers are produced exactly according to the customer’s specifications and requirements. Assemblies can also be attached to plastic mouldings at the customer’s request. The final assembly can be done by gluing or welding.

Plastic moulded parts are completed during assembly manufacturing – our special solutions

By focussing on plastic deep drawing, we deliberately set ourselves apart from the injection moulding technology commonly used in the industry and also offer CNC milling of plastic only for precision work. Nevertheless, or precisely because of this, we can concentrate fully on individual solutions for your requirements.

Assembly manufacturing is a particularly flexible solution in this respect. In the course of this process, individual parts are turned into workpieces at swissplast that can be processed directly in your company. In practice, we attach assemblies to the moulded plastic parts – exactly according to your specifications and design drawings. Fixing, the final assembly, is done by gluing or welding.

You coordinate this process step with our material specialists in advance. Even if the feather-light plastic moulded part gains weight through the combination with the assembly, the total weight remains low, which is still of great importance in mechanical engineering, for example, but also in e-mobility.

With this special manufacturing variant, assembly manufacturing, we once again underline our focus, which is on the technologically high-quality production of prototypes and small series. This additional swissplast service represents another service component of our company.

Plastics technology from development to deep drawing and assembly manufacturing

Plastics technology is our core competence, for which various technological options used at swissplast. Depending on the area of application, surface and desired colour, we create the optimum production sequence for your requirements and your desired plastic moulded part.

Our consulting and manufacturing services cover the entire production cycle – from development and feasibility checks to design conception and material selection, right through to assembly. Assembly manufacturing enables us to implement complex projects in plastic construction. In doing so, we find the best possible combination of stability, flexibility and functionality of the desired workpiece.

Benefits of assembly manufacturing

Plastic assemblies from swissplast have the one decisive advantage that you as a customer have the option of an all-in-one solution. As a leading company in plastics processing and assembly manufacturing, swissplast also offers thermoforming and milling as a service.

swissplast works green

Since 2021, swissplast has been producing in a completely CO2-neutral manner – also with regard to plastic assemblies. Recycling plays a particularly important role here and is firmly anchored in our working philosophy. In all our work areas, we use plastic regrind wherever possible and reduce our waste production to a minimum

FAQ

Which joining techniques are offered?

swissplast works with all common joining techniques. For plastic assemblies, we can offer both the joining technique of gluing and the techniques of welding, riveting, screwing and bonding.

Can different materials be joined?

Yes, swissplast also manufactures assembly parts with different materials on request. For example, metals, foams, foamed materials, etc. can be joined with plastic to form an assembly and form so-called sandwich components.

Are there limitations to assembly manufacturing?

In principle, there are no limits for assembly manufacturing. The individual components for a plastic assembly are limited to the maximum size of the milling and deep drawing machines.

Assembly manufacturing for plastic mouldings from swissplast

swissplast is one of the leading companies for assembly manufacturing with plastic. There are different methods for joining plastics, but also plastics and metal. We offer various joining techniques for assembly manufacturing of plastic mouldings: Bonding, assembly welding and riveting as well as plastic screws, plastic bonding and other techniques. Thanks to our many years of experience in processing plastics, we can select the long-lasting joining technique for you on the basis of the plastic used and the intended use of the assembly. Depending on whether the plastic assemblies are used for the automotive industry, plant construction or sanitary engineering, a different joining technique is recommended. With swissplast, you can be sure that the right joining technology is chosen so that your assembly can withstand a long service life.

Joining techniques for assemblies – all combinations and requirements.

Thermoforming allows us to produce individual plastic mouldings, while CNC milling enables us to customise the components. With assembly manufacturing, swissplast also takes on the next step: the connection of all components. swissplast has virtually no limits in terms of connection techniques or materials. Very extensive assemblies can be produced: Particularly large and complex assemblies are assembled in our specialist department for housing construction. With the help of a special bonding technique (e.g. with two-component adhesives), we are able to bond metal to plastic. In principle, all sandwich components and combinations of materials are possible. Thus, swissplast can join plastic with metal, foam, foam material and also other substances.
