Is it for me?

The understanding of welding is essential for those involved in the material selection, design and fabrication of plastic moulded components.
Engineers working in high tech industries such as automotive, medical and domestic appliance, are required to design complex systems involving parts that may need to be welded or bonded.
The training available from TWI provides guidance and best practice on the welding of moulded plastic components.
