This webinar introduces the ExtrusionLink concept and provides a comprehensive overview of die design and extrusion simulation capabilities within the QForm environment. ExtrusionLink is a secure digital solution that integrates extruders and die makers into a unified, simulation-driven workflow. The session focuses on establishing an efficient and protected data exchange process that connects die design, extrusion simulation, and production optimization into a seamless digital chain.
Particular attention is given to die design development, including bearing design, port geometry, welding chamber configuration, and flow balancing. The webinar also covers classical simulation of aluminum (Al) extrusion processes, enabling accurate prediction of material flow, extrusion loads, temperature evolution, weld quality, and final profile geometry.
The session will demonstrate how digital integration enhances communication between extruders and die suppliers, accelerates die validation and correction cycles, reduces trial runs, and shortens time-to-production. Practical examples will illustrate how simulation-driven collaboration improves die performance, increases process stability, and boosts overall manufacturing efficiency.
This webinar is intended for extrusion companies, die makers, technical managers, and simulation specialists seeking to implement secure digital workflows and advanced process optimization within the QForm ecosystem.
