The common tool used to fuse non-woven fabrics at the seams is an ultrasonic welder. This is not as common in the hackerspace tool room, but laser cutters may be a suitable stand-in. Getting the ...

Ultrasonic welding is based on high-frequency vibrations (typically between 20 and 40 kHz) that cause surface friction and viscoelastic heating at the weld. The most important process parameters are ...

Processes include friction welding methods (vibration and rotation welding), ultrasonic welding, microwave welding, high-frequency welding, hot-plate welding and laser welding. The method best ...
