Hybrid joining

Hybrid joining is an innovative technique that uses several joining methods simultaneously to maximise the efficiency and quality of the joining process. At its core, this method aims to compensate for the disadvantages of individual joining techniques by combining their respective strengths.

In plastics processing, for example, a combination of form-fitting and adhesive methods is often used to improve the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of the joined parts. By combining these two techniques, materials with different properties can be joined to one another, creating a robust and reliable connection.
