Frequently Asked Questions
Why are adhesives and sealants replacing rivets and fasteners in RV manufacturing?
Adhesives and sealants create continuous, weather-tight bonds that distribute stress more evenly than mechanical fasteners. They reduce assembly time, eliminate visible hardware, improve weather resistance and produce a stronger, lighter and quieter recreational vehicle.
What RV manufacturing applications does Designetics support?
Designetics supports glass substrate bonding, plastic component assembly, anti-corrosion coating, exterior and interior molding and noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) treatments. These applications cover both the structural and aesthetic elements of modern RVs.
How do fluid dispensing systems improve RV assembly quality?
Fluid dispensing systems ensure precise, consistent application of adhesives, sealants and coatings at every joint and seam. The result is stronger seals, improved weather resistance, reduced rework and longer-lasting RVs that hold up to the road and the elements.
Which Designetics system is best for large-scale RV production?
The e3multi® system is engineered for large-scale RV assembly, dispensing multiple fluid types simultaneously without sacrificing precision. The AUTOPRIME® CE also performs well in high-volume environments where consistent single-fluid application is the priority.
How does precision fluid application eliminate buzz, squeak, and rattle in RVs?
Even, controlled application of dampening fluids, sealants and bonding agents removes the micro-gaps and friction points that cause noise during travel. That improves cabin comfort and the perceived build quality of the RV.
Can Designetics customize applicators for unique RV designs?
Yes. Designetics builds custom applicators (manual, semi-automated or fully automated) tailored to the specific dimensions, substrates and bonding paths of each RV manufacturer's design. Rapid prototyping accelerates development without slowing the production schedule.

How a Satellite Maker Solved Its Primer Application Problem
Getting into the aerospace industry isn’t simple. Most fluid application companies working with aerospace manufacturers end up filtering through defense contractors and operating behind heavy NDAs with limited technical visibility. It’s difficult to solve a problem you can’t fully see, and that’s a big reason why few fluid application providers have found a foothold in the industry.
This project looks different. A satellite manufacturer reached out to Designetics, opening the door to collaboration and a fast-growing partnership. What started as a single manual application problem grew into a multi-process, multi-facility relationship within a year.
When the Line Can't Stop: How Designetics Helped Cut Assembly Defects by More Than 90%
In high-volume manufacturing, there’s no margin for error and no time to stop. When a major manufacturer began experiencing quality defects in newly assembled products, the source of the problem pointed to an easy-to-overlook step: surface cleanliness before the critical sealing operation.
The components were being machined, assembled and moved down the line. But the machining process left behind a combination of fine metal particles and residual oil on the seating surfaces. The oil acted as a binding agent, trapping contaminants on critical surfaces where downstream assembly operations required a clean interface. The result was a steady stream of defects, costly teardowns, and, in some cases, warranty issues at the dealership level.
The challenge was clear. What wasn’t clear was how to fix it without interrupting the line.
Why Fluid Applicators Are Essential for Waste Reduction
Material waste is one of the most persistent cost drivers in modern manufacturing. That could mean adhesive overspray on an automotive assembly line or inconsistent sealant coverage in an aerospace application. In each case, excess fluid ends up where it shouldn’t be. That waste compounds quickly, driving up raw material costs, disposal fees, rework hours and environmental impact.
Choosing the right fluid applicator can address the problem at the source. This article breaks down how traditional methods fall short, what precision applicators do differently and how the correct solution can deliver measurable cost savings for your operation.
