| For the most comprehensive ultrasonic
assembly training available, come to Dukane:
About Our Programs
Dukanes educational programs are
structured around a general core seminar, supplemented by several related, but more
specialized, workshops.
The Introduction to Ultrasonic Plastics
Assembly seminar is a comprehensive two-day technical forum designed to
provide a general understanding of ultrasonic plastics assembly and its capabilities.
Participants will learn practical theory, principles, and benefits of ultrasonic assembly
and how to incorporate ultrasonics into their manufacturing processes.
The workshops are designed to be
very interactive and participatory. To achieve the maximum value, we highly recommend that
participants bring their specific questions, concerns, and applications for discussion and
analysis. Professional casual attire is appropriate during all our educational programs.
