Professional Metal Extrusion Parts Manufacturer
If you are looking for a custom metal extrusion parts manufacturer and the demand is high, then you should definitely contact an extrusion company directly. Many extrusion companies are only engaged in large-scale production, so these companies are reluctant to undertake small-volume metal extrusion projects unless you are their VIP customer. Therefore, it is difficult for you to get rapid prototype parts and small-volume custom extrusion parts for metal extrusion projects. But at Elimold, we have our own in-house extrusion factory, which can not only provide large-volume extrusion parts, but also small-volume and short-run custom metal extrusion parts services. And no matter the size of the project, we attach great importance to our customers’ projects, both in terms of quality and delivery cycle. We also regularly quality control the projects before they are shipped. In addition, compared with traditional extrusion companies, our in-house factory also has a professional CNC machine shop, so we can perform precision post-processing in-house.

What is Extrusion?
Extrusion is a manufacturing process widely used in various industries to create objects with a consistent cross-sectional profile. It involves pushing or forcing a material, typically a malleable plastic or metal, through a die to form a continuous shape. The initial step entails introducing the raw material, typically in the form of pellets, into a hopper. Subsequently, the material is conveyed into a heated barrel. Within the barrel, the material is melted and pressurized, and it is then forced through the die, which determines the final shape and size of the extruded product. Cooling mechanisms are employed to solidify the material as it emerges from the die. Extrusion offers several advantages, such as high production rates, versatility in creating complex shapes, and cost-effectiveness. It is commonly used to manufacture products like pipes, tubes, rods, and various profiles used in the construction, automotive, and packaging industries.
Advantages of Metal Extrusion
- Dimensional Accuracy and Stability: Modern extruders and processes are capable of producing close tolerance, durable, and dimensionally stable extruded profiles. The process is also suitable for both brittle and ductile materials.
- Low Part Cost: With careful design, extruded frames and housings can eliminate multi-part assembly. It is also easy to achieve high production volumes and is economical.
- Reduced Tooling Costs: The extrusion process is simple and can reduce tooling costs by 80-90% compared to other processes such as injection molding or die casting.
- Part Complexity: Extrusion is well suited to creating parts with complex cross-sectional shapes, including features such as undercuts, T-slots, and grooves.
Materials & Specifications
Materials used in our extrusion process include, Metals: Aluminum (2xxx series and 7xxx series), Brass, Bronze, Copper, Carbide Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Steel. Commonly used plastics include Acrylic, Butyl, Foam, Polyethylene, High Density Polyethylene, Polypropylene, High Density Polypropylene, Neoprene, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Rubber, Polyurethane, and Vinyl.
Additionally, extrusion generally minimizes the need for secondary operations, but does not provide the same dimensional accuracy or surface finish as machined parts. The surface finish for steel is 3 microns (125 uin) and for aluminum and magnesium is 0.8 microns (30 uin). However, the process can produce a wide variety of cross-sections that would be difficult to produce cost-effectively using other methods. The minimum thickness for steel is approximately 3 mm (0.120 in), while the minimum thickness for aluminum and magnesium is approximately 1 mm (0.040 in). The minimum cross-sectional area for steel is 250 mm2 (0.4 in2), while for aluminum and magnesium it is less than 250 mm2. Minimum corner and fillet radius of 0.4 mm (0.015 in) for aluminum and magnesium, 0.8 mm (0.030 in) for steel and 4 mm (0.120 in) for corners
Post Machining of Extruded Parts
Once extrusion is complete, your parts are ready for processing. Subsequent services such as drilling, cutting or punching can all be done in-house. This saves you the time and costs of performing these operations in your own factory.
- Cutting
- Drilling
- Grinding
- Boring
- Tapping
- Deburring
Finishing Options for Metal Extrusions
Aluminum extrusions are used in the mass production of many non-appearance parts where finishing may not be particularly important. However, custom metal extrusions are also used to produce high-value products that may benefit from the addition of color, text, logos, and other finishing processes. Applicable surface treatments for metal extrusion parts include:
- Basic mechanical finishing
- Anodization
- Painting
- Powder coating
- Silk-screen printing
- Laser engraving
Secondary Machining Services
We can combine extrusion with other manufacturing methods such as CNC milling, turning and bending to create final parts. Our team offers a full range of services, from secondary machining, surface treatments to special requirements.
