Italian term or phrase: le strutture e gli accessori si assemblano a incas
The text is about modular workbenches, composed of elements that assembly together. I need the translation of "assemblare ad incastro" but it's very difficult for me to explain what it means in English. Can you help me, please?

English translation:the bench and the accessories are slotted together guaranteeing strength
Explanation:
the expression means "fit very closely together", I think we would use the word "slot" in English.

If you ever did woodwork, a "dovetail" joint essentially "ad incastro".

Good luck!

are interlocking


Explanation:
traduce sia l'assemblare che l'incastro... penso ai mobili Ikea, ad esempio; potresti mantenere l'idea dell'assemblaggio in altro modo;un esempio veloce e' "the interlocking whatever are easily assembled..."
