Putting It Together: Selecting and Using Fasteners and Adhesives
In this workshop, we will explore the worlds of fasteners and adhesives. There are thousands of choices out there, each with their own unique, and sometimes obscure, nomenclature. We will use hands-on examples to learn how various fasteners work, how to identify fastener type, how to measure and specify fasteners, and where to look for more technical details. We will also play with various types of adhesives and learn more about their applicability to a range of applications.
When you complete this workshop, you will have a better understanding of the nomenclature and logic behind the vast range of fasteners and adhesives. You will also have a basic toolbox of digital resources to assist you in identifying the appropriate fasteners or adhesives for tasks that you routinely face in the lab or workshop.
Reserve your spot in this workshop through BeAM’s Coworks app.
