Aerospace manufacturers must improve bond reliability, increase production rates, and reduce environmental impact. Traditional surface preparation methods often introduce variability, slow throughput, and depend on manual processes. This webinar explores how atmospheric plasma treatment and digital surface validation enable cleaner, faster, and more reliable bonding workflows for advanced composites and aerospace assemblies.
Lucas Dillingham, Global Applications Director at Brighton Science, and Tim Smith, Chief Technology Officer at Plasmatreat North America, will discuss how manufacturers are modernizing aerospace surface preparation using atmospheric plasma treatment and quantitative surface measurement techniques.
The webinar will show how plasma-based surface treatment reduces reliance on sanding, grit blasting, and solvent cleaning. This approach improves process consistency and lowers contamination risk. Attendees will also learn how digital surface validation methods, such as contact angle measurement, accelerate process development, simplify troubleshooting, and increase confidence in adhesion performance through real-time process control and surface quality verification.
