Forming and assembly

CRMGroup can assess the forming behaviour of materials. Based on these characteristics, it is possible to select the right material grade for the application.

Assembly and dis-assembly of material is a topic more and more important.

CRMGroup can support from the selection of adhesive to the assessment of assemblies regarding ageing tests.

Several services can be offered
