Some form of fabrication is required even if the extrusion ’s properties and functions have been optimised. Generally extrusions made of aluminium can be fabricated using all the methods available for other metals. In the same way all the usual engineering machines can normally be used for fabricating aluminium.

We have competence and machines for all sorts of fabrication. At Hydro Aluminium Profiler we use cutting-edge technology and methods for quality fabrication with high precision and tight tolerances.

Our resources also include assembly of components and finished products.

Fabrication is usually divided into cutting and plastic forming.

Cutting operations include sawing, deburring, milling, drilling, turning, tapping, shearing and insulation.

Plastic forming includes bending, stretch forming, roller bending and press bending.
