Designing with aluminium
Skip to content

The material is the starting point that shapes the form and function of your product. We offer you more than 80 years of experience working with design and manufacturing of components in aluminium.

Technical guidance in aluminium design

If you are in the early stages of developing a product where you will use aluminium, our technically trained personnel are ready to assist you. We offer guidance on the designs that best suit your application and provide you with detailed advice on matters such as thickness, stresses and surface finish.

Making your ideas reality

In a simple way, discuss your profile idea with our experts who can show you the design possibilities with extruded aluminium. Screw ports, channels, drill grooves, snap-fit locks, decorative trim, friction patterns, anti-slip surfaces – there is no limit to the number of ideas where aluminium can be the solution.

Our list of supported design software includes:

  • AutoCAD
  • Cadra
  • Cocreate for Profile Design
  • Unigraphics NX
  • Helix Design System 3D
  • Inventor
  • Prototypes

Precision with hydroforming

In a single operation, hydroforming allows us to create complicated details with precision. It is also possible to add local details, such as studs or holes. This saves several processing steps, which can shorten lead times.
