Heatstaking is a temperature controlled process to join two or more parts together where at least one material is plastic. De-forming of the plastic is done by heating the plastic above its glass-transition temperature and apply pressure to form a well-defined compression of the material. Using temperature widens the range of staking applications to a broader spectrum of thermoplastic materials such as glass-filled plastics. A visual summary of feasible applications is now made available in both PDF and video format.
