03 / Custom die development

Your drawing, extruded.

Send a cross-section as DWG, DXF, or STEP. We handle die design, extrusion simulation, sampling, and correction — then move to production once the first article is approved. New tooling or a proven existing die.

The die flow

Drawing to production, in five moves.

01
Review

Feasibility & extrudability check on your file.

02
Die design

Tooling designed and flow-simulated.

03
Sampling

Trial extrusion from the new die.

04
Correction

Die tuned to hit tolerances.

05
Production

Run on first-article approval.

Tooling

What the die stage covers.

Lead times depend on section complexity and press size. We confirm die cost, sampling window, and MOQ in the quote.

What to send us

A dimensioned cross-section is all we need to start. We'll flag anything that fights the extrusion process before you commit to tooling.

◇

Cross-section file

DWG / DXF / STEP / IGES, or a fully dimensioned PDF sketch.

◇

Critical dimensions & tolerances

Which features are functional and where tolerance matters.

◇

Alloy, temper & finish

Or the application, so we can recommend the spec.

◇

Annual volume & port

Expected quantity to size the die and the destination port.
