Welding vs Riveting
Developers should learn welding when working on hardware projects, robotics, or IoT devices that involve metal fabrication, as it enables custom part creation, repairs, and prototyping meets developers should learn about riveting when working on hardware projects, robotics, or manufacturing systems that involve physical assembly, as it provides a durable and vibration-resistant connection suitable for load-bearing applications. Here's our take.
Welding
Developers should learn welding when working on hardware projects, robotics, or IoT devices that involve metal fabrication, as it enables custom part creation, repairs, and prototyping
Welding
Nice PickDevelopers should learn welding when working on hardware projects, robotics, or IoT devices that involve metal fabrication, as it enables custom part creation, repairs, and prototyping
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in fields like embedded systems, where physical enclosures or mounts are needed, or in maker communities for DIY projects
- +Related to: metal-fabrication, robotics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Riveting
Developers should learn about riveting when working on hardware projects, robotics, or manufacturing systems that involve physical assembly, as it provides a durable and vibration-resistant connection suitable for load-bearing applications
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios where welding is impractical due to material constraints or where disassembly might be needed, as some rivet types allow for removal
- +Related to: mechanical-engineering, cad-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Welding if: You want it is particularly useful in fields like embedded systems, where physical enclosures or mounts are needed, or in maker communities for diy projects and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Riveting if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in scenarios where welding is impractical due to material constraints or where disassembly might be needed, as some rivet types allow for removal over what Welding offers.
