Joining Small Parts to Make Larger Parts
May 23, 2012 10:13AM
I don't have much knowledge of mechanical engineering so I was wondering if there is a website somewhere that describes techniques for joining plastic parts together?

What I am looking for are methods of creating longer spans and beams from smaller ones that is strong but doesn't require nuts, bolts, screws, etc. Maybe some way of snapping together or interlocking tabs or slots?

I'm sure this problem has been solved a hundred times over in clever ways, so any pointers would be great!

Thanks, Andy

One method is solvent welding : [www.protoparadigm.com]


Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.
