Design Support

Engineering & design support built for performance, manufacturability & cost efficiency

At Dajcor Aluminum, design support is where strong ideas become manufacturable, cost-effective solutions.

We work closely with your engineering and product development teams to optimize aluminum profiles for extrusion, machining, fabrication, and finishing. From early-stage concepts to production-ready designs, our goal is to ensure your part performs as intended—while reducing complexity, cost, and lead time.

WHAT WE SUPPORT

  • New product and profile development
  • Design optimization for aluminum extrusion
  • Conversion from steel, plastic, or multi-part assemblies
  • Cost-reduction and value engineering initiatives
  • Profiles designed for machining, fabrication, and finishing
  • High-performance and structural applications
  • Cosmetic and high-visual surface requirements
  • Integrated, multi-feature extrusion designs

DESIGN SUPPORT CAPABILITIES

  • Profile design and engineering collaboration
  • Extrusion feasibility analysis
  • Wall thickness and tolerance optimization
  • Alloy selection guidance (6000 series)
  • Die design and development support
  • Design for manufacturability (DFM)
  • Integration with machining, fabrication, and finishing
  • Prototype development and validation
