Extruding Sheet Metal

Extruding sheet metal.

We are also renowned for customer satisfaction. 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. Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet by punching cutting stamping and bending. I have created a variable of etch thickness 0 022 that my sheet metal model uses over and over to extrude parts thickness of etch thickness of sheet metal model.

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. A material is pushed through a die of the desired cross section. Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross sectional profile. I am working on a sheet metal model and am extruding various parts but i have stumbled upon a problem with an extrude on a flange.

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.
