How Hardware Startups Use Ultrasonic Welding to Beat Assembly Costs

Episode 40 of Hardware Startups with Fexingo dives into ultrasonic welding, a technique that uses high-frequency vibrations to join plastics without glue or fasteners. Lucas and Luna explore how a startup building medical devices cut assembly time by 70% and saved $0.12 per unit by switching from screws to ultrasonic welds. They also discuss the upfront cost of equipment, the trade-offs with rework, and why this method is gaining traction among small hardware teams looking to scale production.
