About the event
Are you an OEM, second tier supplier or material manufacturer wanting to upgrade your joining equipment?
Explore cutting-edge Flow Drill Screw technology with WMG & WEBER. Join us for demos, expert insights & networking at the Uni of Warwick.
WMG is hosting a Technology Day in collaboration with WEBER, showcasing the Flow Drill Screw (FDS) joining method, an impressive mechanical fastening technique for mixed material joining. It allows for single sided access, making it easier to join large complex cast structures. The self-tapping screw is removable, allowing the materials to be dismantled, repaired and reused.
