The world’s
most advanced plastic
welding system
Breakthrough development and now the ultimate refinement supported by Innovate UK to get AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Machine Learning integral within the process. Pinweld is on schedule to deliver one of the most advanced plastic welding methods ever and a world first for automated manufacturing.
Unique
Core Technology
Founded in 2018 by Technical Director, Keven Chappell, he and the small team at Pinweld built a completely new type of plastic welding technology also referred to as DPDW (Dynamic Plastic Deformation Welding).
Designed primarily for repairing car bumpers and headlights to find a solution for a problem which in many cases saw these replaced rather than repaired. Fast-forward a few years and Pinweld in conjunction with The Welding Institute (TWI) and partnering universities have been successful in securing two rounds of government innovation funding from Innovate UK SMART Awards to really advance the welding process. The final delivery offers a revolution for the future of plastic welding - low energy, intelligent (Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence) neat and strong welding process without the need for any additional fillers, solvents or consumables. In short, it will allow you to design and join things that you simply couldn’t do before.
As a direct result of the advancements made during the current Government supported grant, Pinweld are entering a new funding phase and talking with potential collaborators and investors to further commercialise a range of manufacturing and licensing opportunities, both in the UK and abroad.
Everything Pinweld does is focused on developing this welding technology – all with the eventual goal of contributing to less waste, lower emissions and increased circularity with the use and reuse of plastics enabling manufacturers to move away from traditional unsustainable material usage and its high energy consumption.
