Predictive Engineering to Maximize Success from the First Run
At EXTRUMASTER, we develop extrusion dies using advanced aluminum flow simulation tools, allowing us to virtually analyze the behavior of the metal before manufacturing the die.
This technology helps us optimize the design from the engineering stage, reducing later adjustments, development times, and production costs.
Simulation-Based Design
Before manufacturing the die, we perform computational simulations that allow us to evaluate:
Aluminum Flow
We analyze how the metal distributes within the die to identify possible imbalances that may affect the quality of the profile.
Profile Exit Speed
We detect speed differences between different areas of the profile to minimize issues of twisting, bowing, or deformation.
Temperature Distribution
We evaluate thermal behavior during extrusion to optimize tool performance.
Flow Balance
We virtually adjust ports, feed chambers, and critical areas to achieve a more uniform extrusion.
Manufacturing Feasibility
We validate complex profiles before investing in die manufacturing.
Benefits for Our Clients
Shorter Development Time
Simulation allows us to identify improvement opportunities before manufacturing the tool.
Fewer Die Corrections
We significantly reduce the need for rework and later adjustments.
Less Aluminum Waste
Unnecessary testing and material consumption during startup decrease.
Higher Press Productivity
The dies arrive better optimized to start production in less time.
Better Profile Quality
Dimensional stability, surface finish, and consistency of the final product improve.
Comprehensive Development Process
1. Profile Analysis
Our team reviews the functional, dimensional, and aesthetic requirements of the product.
2. Flow Simulation
We virtually model the extrusion process to optimize the tool design.
3. Die Design
We incorporate the simulation results to develop an efficient and reliable solution.
4. Precision Manufacturing
We manufacture the die using CNC machining centers, wire EDM, and sinker EDM.
5. Vacuum Heat Treatment
We apply controlled heat treatment to maximize the tool's lifespan and performance.
6. Support During Startup
We accompany our clients during the startup to optimize production results.
More than Just Manufacturing a Die
At EXTRUMASTER, we do not just manufacture tools.
We design, simulate, optimize, and manufacture extrusion dies focused on achieving high-quality profiles, minimizing development times, and maximizing our clients' productivity.
