Sponge rubber is commonly used in die cut applications in the manufacture of non-slip pads, feet, and gasketing applications.  Many gaskets and other sponge rubber items are produced with...

Finishing is an important step with any item.  Many extrusions are shipped cut to length at the press, tempered and shipped “as extruded” or “mill finish”.  Most plastic parts...

Water jet cutting has become a more sophisticated and cost effective means of producing three dimensional parts without costly mold tooling.  Sponge and dense materials run well on water...

Businesses prefer many thermoplastic processing methods. When heated, this polymer is soft enough to form into useable parts. After it cools it retains its shape. Thermoplastics can be reheated...

Aluminum Anodizing  from Thermoprene produces electronic enclosures in many sizes and materials.  Extrusion is an inexpensive method for production of enclosures and lends itself well to the design of...

This thin wall aluminum hex shape is produced in 6063-T5 aluminum alloy for construction of a larger honeycomb panel.  The profile is produced as a hex for strength and...

A cardinal rule, if not at least a guiding principal of profile aluminum extrusion design, is uniform wall thickness.  For processing reasons (flow, straightness, tolerances) shapes with uniform wall...

This aluminum extrusion is an example of producing a large part with multiple hollows from a single, repeating, self-mating profile.  The overall shape is approximately a 6″ round, with...

Thermoprene has the ability to run heavy shapes for applications where wall thickness, aesthetics, or secondary operations require more land to the material.  Heavy wall shapes need to be...

This extruded aluminum heat sink application is an example of a very small part, produced with a nominal wall thickness of .028″.  The cross sectional dimension is approximately 1″,...
