3M Industrial Design & Assembly Solutions

Early auto paint jobs faced the challenge of achieving strong tape adhesion with clean removal. In 1925, 3M solved this problem with a new adhesive formula that went on strong and came off cleanly – and 100 years later, today’s highly versatile masking solutions continue to meet the demands of modern automotive two-tone paint jobs.

When you need to improve your assembly speed, automating your bonding process may be the solution. Some processes are easier to automate than others. If your assembly line includes a commonly automated bonding process like these, it might be time to make a shift: • Stiffener to panel • Gasketing • Mounting and trim attachment • Panel to frame • Small joint assembly • Potting Ready to speed up your processes?
