Lastest CAD Systems

We use SolidWorks, and keep all our CAD systems up to date with the latest, most innovative features.

FREE EXTRUSION PROTOTYPES

Our printed prototype* package includes:

Design support & technical drawing time
2D drawing of your extrusion (DXF & PDF)
One 3D printed sample up to 300mm long
Build Volume: 215 x 215 x 300mm
Print Accuracy: 0.2 - 0.02 microns

*Our 3D printed rapid prototypes are free of charge, subject to us being given the opportunity to quote for the eventual supply of your extrusion.

 

HOW CAN I GET ONE?

Simply fill in the form shown, upload your sketches or any CAD models and tick the request a sample option.

Once we have received your design, a member of our team will be in touch to find out a little more about your project, as well as discuss your extrusion needs.

We will then put you in touch with our technical team who will be able to help you take your idea forward from napkin sketch to a tangible sample in no time. After the design is finalised, we aim to send your finished sample to you within five working days.

REQUEST YOUR FREE PROTOTYPE AND SEND US YOUR DESIGN IDEAS

We'll take a look at your designs and apply our experience and assistance in the do's, and don'ts, of extrusion to provide technical recommendations and improvements.

Material Choices Advice

We can provide useful information to help you decide what to do - such as specifications and properties of materials and guidance on the most suitable material to use for your component's end-use.

BRINGING YOUR PROFILE IDEAS TO LIFE...

At BWC Profiles, we pride ourselves on assisting our customers with the design of their aluminium and plastic extrusions, and we’d like to introduce you to the very person who helps us, help you!

Meet Justin, our CAD designer.

Justin has a lot of experience and expertise in CAD design and he uses CAD software to produce 3D CAD models to produce 3D printed samples and 2D engineering drawings as part of our quoting process. Any models created are also used for the CNC machining via the CADLink software. If you have a design idea for your aluminium or plastic extrusions, please get in touch, we’d love to help!
