Extrusion · by quote

Custom aluminium extrusion

Send a cross-section DXF or STEP and we'll quote the die, the per-metre price and any machining or anodising you need. We review wall balance, tongue ratios and shrink before the die is cut.

Alloys

6060, 6063, 6082 in T5 and T6 temper

Profile envelope

Up to 250 mm circumscribing circle, 0.8 mm minimum wall

Die tooling

Solid, semi-hollow and hollow dies, typically 2–3 weeks

Secondary work

Cut to length, CNC machining, tapping, punching, deburring

Finishing

Mill finish, clear/black anodise, powder coat, brushed

Minimum run

150 kg per profile per order

Choosing a material

Select the alloy and temper together: an easy-to-extrude profile is not always the strongest. Include your required finish, visible surfaces and any load-bearing features in the enquiry.

6060: Good formability for detailed profiles. Consider for decorative and general profiles.
6063: Good surface finish and anodising response. A common choice for architectural enclosures.
6082: Higher structural strength, with more geometry constraints. Consider for loaded frames and rails.

Planning an extrusion

Send the cross-section

A dimensioned DXF or STEP profile shows wall thickness, hollow features and the surfaces that matter. Include your cut length and order volume.

Review the die

Thin walls, uneven sections and deep slots can affect die design and straightness. We review the profile with a qualified extrusion partner before tooling.

Specify secondary work

Tell us about cut lengths, tapping, machining, anodising and cosmetic faces so the finished-part cost is included in the quote.
