About enabling connections
enabling connections is a service company for metal-plastic joining with a focus on thermal direct joining. Its range of services includes consulting and training on joining technologies as well as feasibility assessments regarding assembly, disassembly and repairability. In engineering, joining zone design and component design are developed for proofs of concept and prototypes; tool design and manufacturing are carried out on the basis of FE simulation. The portfolio further includes process development from pretreatment through joining to disassembly and repair, the production of A and B samples for customer evaluation, as well as disassembly and repair tests with destructive and non-destructive testing. Turn-key solutions for pretreatment, joining and repair are designed and produced in close cooperation with network partners.
