Tooling built, maintained, and optimized under one roof for precision and reliability
Every extrusion begins with the right tool. At Engineered Profiles, we design, machine, and maintain all tooling in-house. This means faster turnaround times, tighter control over quality, and the ability to adjust on the spot – advantages that outsourced tooling simply can’t match.
Owning the tooling process gives us the ability to respond quickly and precisely to customer needs. From fine-tuning dies for complex profiles to extending tool life through preventative maintenance, our in-house approach ensures consistency across long production runs and eliminates the risk of delays caused by third parties.
When tooling is engineered, adjusted, and maintained under one roof, the results are clear: better fit, stronger performance, and repeatable quality. Customers benefit from shorter lead times, fewer disruptions, and confidence that every extrusion will match specifications from the first part to the last.
After a thorough part design review, our extrusion tools start with modern 3D computer modeling and sophisticated flow-analysis simulation. Tool designs are validated for expected results to a 70–80% level through simulation before steel is ever cut.
Then, precise CNC machining and wire EDM are used to produce tooling to exacting tolerances. These machining techniques are taken one step further and are also utilized throughout the tooling-development revision process in lieu of undocumented handwork. This not only ensures revisions are made accurately, but that a precise record of the tooling’s final configuration is maintained for ease of replacement due to wear or damage.
The same technology, precision, and care that drive our extrusion tooling extend to our assembly tooling and equipment. It’s not enough to simply build tooling to make world-class extruded parts. Our customers have needs for complex part fabrications and features, subassemblies, and various value-add operations. Our in-house tooling capabilities extend beyond extrusion in support of these secondary requirements to produce finished goods that meet our customers’ needs and save time and money.
By keeping tooling under one roof, we maintain full control of quality, accuracy, and speed. This integration allows us to deliver custom extrusions faster, reduce risk for customers, and ensure every profile is manufactured to the highest standards.
Faster adjustments, tighter tolerances, and consistent quality all come from keeping tooling under one roof – giving customers speed, accuracy, and confidence in every profile.
