Segmented pin joints allow axial sliding to reduce fuselage frame bending and structural weight while maintaining load transfer.
Segmented mounting parts slide to compensate for fastener misalignment, then clamp into a rigid state.
Segmented vise members with adjustable fastening secure work-pieces on fixture plates.
Welded angled joining members connect structure edges, minimizing scrap material waste from machining large components.
Inverted and protruding portions engage face-to-face to secure workpiece alignment, eliminating the need for separate positioning jigs.
Mechanical oscillations liquefy thermoplastic material at the interface, allowing it to flow into lightweight building layers for positive-fit anchoring.
