Using 3D printing technology and ultrasonic joining techniques, researchers at TU Graz in Austria have attained an extremely strong joining of a renewable raw material wood with metal and polymer ...

The renewable raw material wood is climate-neutral and at the same time light and strong, making it fundamentally attractive for use in vehicle manufacturing. One challenge to date has been joining ...

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Amy Snell, and I have been appointed as the new Executive Director for the Wood Component Manufacturers Association (WCMA). I am ...

Fastening and joining components are foundational elements in machine design, directly influencing the structural integrity, operational reliability and manufacturability of engineered systems.
