design help

Profile Precision Extrusions sales and production team has over 200 years of combined experience producing aluminum extrusions. We review hundreds of aluminum extrusion designs each month. It is remarkable to ponder the number of extrusions we’ve reviewed since 1998 when Profile Precision Extrusions was incorporated. Other than an occasional round tube design, each design is different. We’re amazed by the sheer number of unique designs our customers develop. If you’re considering aluminum for your next project, put our experience to work for you.

Get Feedback on Your Design

Whether you’re an experienced engineer, or an entrepreneur working on your first aluminum extrusion design, don’t hesitate to contact us. If you don’t know where to start, pick up the phone and give us a call at 623.936.5599. In a quick five- to the ten-minute phone call we can help you to get started. We’ll ask about the overall size of the extrusion, important features, alloy and temper desired, and cosmetically important surfaces. Based upon the information you provide we can give you an estimate of the cost for extrusion die and how long it will take to build one.

We Make Napkin Sketches Possible

If you’ve already started to sketch something on a napkin, or with your favorite 3-D modeling software, but have started to ask yourself “is it possible to extrude this,” email it to us for feedback. We encourage you to send us your ideal design and we’ll let you know if we think the design can be produced. If not, we’ll give you suggestions on the changes we recommend to make it extrudable. Even if the part doesn’t fit our manufacturing parameters, we’ll refer you to other aluminum extruders who may be able to produce your design.
