This one-hour webinar will review the attributes of aluminum and the extrusion process, then focus on three design variables - alloys, part geometry, fabrication - that make aluminum extrusions a problem solver for product designers and engineer. Several mini case studies that illustrate creative extrusion-based solutions to product design challenges in a variety of industries will be presented.
What the registrant will learn
- Design considerations for creative product solutions, including:
- Alloy selection and trade-offs
- Part geometry and tolerancing
- The potential in creative fabrication
- “Real-life” economics of extrusion-based solutions
- Available resources for additional learning
