American Additive Manufacturing
Bonding / Sealing

Bonding & sealing

Hysol EA 9394, EA 9396 and BJB TC 1614 structural adhesives, weatherproof sealants, and porosity sealants for FDM and SLS parts. Our bonding cell delivers pressure-tight sealing and structural reliability for cabin, avionics, and outdoor hardware.

Bonding / Sealing

Many printed parts need to be sealed, joined, or made air-tight to perform in their service environment. Aerospace cabin ducts must hold pressure. Outdoor enclosures must keep moisture out. SLS nylon often needs porosity sealing before paint will adhere correctly.

Our bonding cell runs aerospace-spec adhesives and sealants under controlled mix-and-cure protocols, with documented surface preparation, primer application, and torque-or-clamp pressure history per assembly.

Capabilities

Built for demanding programs.

01
Structural adhesive bonding

Hysol EA 9394, EA 9396 and BJB TC 1614 for high-strength load-bearing joints on cabin and structural hardware.

02
Porosity sealing

Resin-impregnation and surface sealants for SLS nylon parts, eliminates leak paths before paint, plating, or pressurization.

03
Pressure & vacuum sealing

Polyurethane and silicone sealants qualified for cabin-pressure ducting and vacuum service for satellite hardware.

04
Weatherproof finishes

Outdoor-grade sealants for UAV airframes, ground vehicle enclosures, and industrial equipment exposed to weather.

05
Surface preparation

Plasma treatment, abrasion, and primer-application processes engineered to substrate type, ensuring adhesion repeatability.

06
Cure documentation

Time-temperature cure profiles recorded per assembly to satisfy AS9100D documentation requirements.

07
EMI shielding

Conductive coatings, nickel and copper plating, and shielding gasket application for 3D-printed enclosures housing sensitive avionics and RF electronics.
