When you work with a company like Silver City Aluminum to design custom aluminum products for your business, you open yourself up to a whole new world of opportunity. One-stop aluminum fabrication shops do everything in-house from the initial development of the design for your custom aluminum extrusion dies or profiles, all the way to post extrusion operations and finishing. There are many advantages to working with a one-stop shop, such as better quality control, shorter lead times and the ability to create shapes that will help to save you time and money.
Why Aluminum?
Aluminum is a very important metal material to many different industries around the world. Through the process of standard or custom aluminum extrusion, this material can be created into unique shapes that just aren’t possible with other metals. The process begins by heating up a raw aluminum billet. The heat allows the aluminum alloy that is being used to soften before it is pressed under very high pressure through a steel die. This die or profile can be standard stock through the facility or it can be custom designed by the client with the aid of the design team and technicians to create custom aluminum products.
Aluminum has many advantages. It is widely available and very cost-effective to use. Aluminum is the number one most recycled metal on the planet, which also makes it very environmentally-friendly. It has many characteristics that cannot be matched by other metals, such as a natural resistance to corrosion and rust, amazing flexibility, tensile strength and the ability to be welded, formed, shaped and worked into just about any shape you might need. Post extrusion operations can be reduced through intelligent design, thereby reducing lead times and cost.

Some of the other advantages of designing custom aluminum extrusion profiles include:

- quality control – when you design your own dies or profiles, you are able to ensure that the finished product is exactly as you intended it to be without requiring additional work from aluminum fabrication shops, unless you want additional customization added
- faster delivery – when you reduce the amount of post extrusion operations that are required for each part that is created, you shorten the lead time and assure a faster delivery of your finished custom aluminum products
- customization – there is nothing quite like having the perfect part for your manufacturing purposes that has been designed by you and your team to work exactly as you need it to in the development of your custom aluminum products
