Advantages of this service
Quality control
Production efficiency
By centralizing all production steps, there is no need to organize the transport of goods between the extrusion and secondary transformation sites, shortening production time and optimizing the process’s efficiency.
Cost reduction
Avoiding transport between different production sites also helps reduce the costs associated with logistics and transportation.
Flexibility
Entrusting us with the entire production process means benefiting from greater flexibility. It becomes much easier to make adjustments or changes to the product at various stages of the process.
Simplified communication
Working with a single supplier for both extrusion and secondary transformation simplifies communication: a direct line from you to us, with no interference.
Secondary transformation interventions
-
Transformation
Each secondary transformation requires specific tools and techniques to ensure the precision and quality of the final product. They are typically carried out after extrusion, once the object has reached a certain level of hardness or cooling.
-
Precision cutting
This work requires high-precision cutting tools to segment the extruded object according to the required dimensions and shapes, regardless of their complexity.
-
Drilling
Using appropriate drills, round holes of the desired size and depth are made in the extruded object. Drilling can be performed at various locations and angles, depending on the design requirements.
-
Laser engraving
This type of engraving is done with a laser, which permanently marks patterns, images, or text on the surface of the extruded object. Laser engraving is ideal for adding fine details or custom markings.
-
Embossing
This transformation is performed with an embossing tool that creates a raised design on the surface of the extruded object. Embossing is very useful for adding texture or a raised pattern to the object.
-
Punching
Punching is the process of perforating material using a punch. Unlike drilling, this technique allows the creation of holes of various shapes.
-
Bending
Using bending tools, the extruded object is shaped into a predetermined curve. This allows modification of the object’s shape.
-
Custom packaging
The packaging stage involves preparing the extruded object for transport or sale. Whether it’s packaging the object in other materials, adding labels or other markings, or creating packaging that aligns with the brand or client’s requirements, we have the options you need.
-
Lamination
Some objects require the application of a film or coating to their surface. Lamination can enhance appearance, protect against damage or corrosion, or add new functionality, such as increased resistance to heat or wear.
-
Texturing
This secondary transformation involves creating a different texture on the surface of the extruded object. Adding texture can change the object's appearance, improve its grip, or add a particular tactile sensation.
-
Screwing
Screws are used to assemble several parts together or to attach the extruded object to another. By pre-drilling the necessary holes, robust and removable assemblies can be created.
-
Assembly
Assembly can involve various techniques, such as screwing, welding, gluing, or fitting, and requires great precision to ensure that all parts fit together correctly.
