Extruding Sheet Metal

A material is pushed through a die of the desired cross section.

If your business is looking to gain an advantage while still creating quality products fab masters can help you decide whether aluminum extrusions or sheet metal would be the better choice for you. Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet by punching cutting stamping and bending. Standard extrusions sheet our products ems offers nationwide supplier of quality aluminum components which include custom aluminum extrusions manufacturing as well as complete custom aluminum fabrication services. Many companies have found that aluminum extrusion is the way to go and have decided to move beyond using sheet metal to create their machined products.

3d cad files are converted into machine code which controls a machine to precisely cut and form the sheets into the final part. We are also renowned for customer satisfaction. Metal extrusion is a metal forming process in which a work piece of a certain length and cross section is forced to flow through a die of a smaller cross sectional area thus forming the work to the new cross section. The two main advantages of this process over other manufacturing processes are its ability to create very complex cross sections and to work materials that are brittle because the material only encounters compressive and shear stresses.

Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross sectional profile.
