bigHead ®, in partnership with Cranfield University, has created a new tool which eliminates secondary fixing processes for sheet moulding compound (SMC) panel fastening.
As part of the R&D partnership between bigHead® Bonding Fasteners Limited and Cranfield University, a demonstration mould tool has been created that shows how bigHead® fasteners can be embedded into intricate materials, processes and SMC without any ingress of resin into the fixing. The embedding solution is a one step process that removes the need for any secondary processes like drilling or punching to insert a fastener.
bigHead® offers opportunities to work with customers and optimise fastener usage both for final product and for manufacturing processes.
Becca is the latest member to join our team and is eager to get stuck into the world of fasteners. She brings an enthusiastic and fresh outlook on what we do editorially and will be leading our social media activity – including sourcing material, editing articles and posting online.
