The first step in procuring your custom aluminium extrusion is design consultation, where we works closely with you to develop a tailored solution.

We begin by understanding the specific requirements of your project, including the intended application, aesthetic goals, and performance expectations.

Our team of specialists collaborates with you to create a detailed design for the aluminium profile, ensuring precision and functionality.

By leveraging expertise and cutting-edge design tools, we refine every aspect to meet your exact specifications while balancing practicality, performance, and cost-efficiency.

Once the initial concept is outlined, we will then progress to the design of the profile.

Using advanced CAD software, we meticulously draft the aluminium extrusion profile, ensuring every dimension, contour, and functionality aligns with your project goals.

A digital review session follows, where we present the 2D & 3D design to you for evaluation. This collaborative session allows you to assess the design in a virtual format, provide feedback, and explore adjustments if needed.

This step ensures the profile is optimised before moving to physical prototyping.

At this stage, we bring the digital design to life through 3D printing.

A small section of approximately 100mm is produced as a physical prototype.

This allows you to experience the profile in tangible form, enabling precise evaluation of its shape, dimensions, and fit.

The 3D-printed piece helps identify any refinements needed before investing in tooling.

This crucial step minimises risks, ensuring the design is optimised for both aesthetics and performance before progressing to full-scale production.

Following the approval of the 3D-printed prototype, Its then time to proceed to die tooling.

A precision-engineered die is created, specifically designed to match your custom aluminium extrusion profile.

This die acts as the mold for the extrusion process, ensuring consistency and accuracy in production.

Built to exacting standards, the die tooling step sets the foundation for high-quality, repeatable extrusions.

By investing in a well-crafted die, we ensure your profile will meet exact specifications during both prototype and full-scale production stages.

Once the die tooling is complete, The foundry produces a small batch extrusion of a few meters for initial review.

This stage provides a real-world representation of the profile using actual aluminium material.

The small batch allows you to assess the fit, finish, and functionality of the extrusion under realistic conditions.

It’s a critical quality control step, ensuring the design meets your project’s exact requirements before committing to full-scale production.

Any adjustments needed can be made efficiently, saving time and resources down the line.

After the small batch review is successfully approved, The foundry advances to full-scale production of the custom aluminium extrusion profile.

Utilising state-of-the-art equipment and precision manufacturing processes, we produce high volumes of your extrusion to the exact specifications established during earlier stages.

Each batch is carefully monitored to maintain consistency, quality, and performance across all pieces.

Whether you require a small or large production run, We ensure a seamless process, delivering a product that meets both technical requirements and project timelines.

Once full-scale production is complete, we can facilitate a comprehensive range of finishing processes to meet your project’s aesthetic and functional requirements.

Options include anodising for a sleek, corrosion-resistant surface, powder coating or painting for durable and decorative finishes.

Other processing options can include precise cutting, drilling, or preparation for assembly to ensure your extrusions are ready for installation.

Our attention to detail during the finishing stage guarantees that each profile not only performs as required but also achieves the desired visual appeal for architectural, signage, or display applications.

At LIGHTRIC, we ensure your custom aluminium extrusions are carefully packaged to prevent any damage during transit.

Each order is securely packed in custom crates or protective materials to maintain product integrity.

Once prepared, we manage efficient delivery to your specified location, ensuring your profiles arrive safely and on time, ready for immediate use.

Whether it’s a local project or an international shipment, our streamlined logistics process guarantees a smooth, hassle-free experience from production to installation.
