Application technology for components, assemblies and production processes in plastics engineering
Plastics engineering combines diverse requirements for materials, geometries, and surface properties. Precise application of viscous media is crucial in processing and assembly – for functional optimization, joining technology, surface finishing, and process assurance. Particular challenges arise from component surfaces that are difficult to wet, high dimensional tolerances, and material-related shrinkage behavior.
