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
