Shape Configuration

One of the major advantages of aluminum extrusions is that they can be designed in virtually any shape that meets the designer’s structural and aesthetic requirements.

They can be designed to aid in assembly, reduce or eliminate forming or welding operations, reduce machining requirements, and many other purposes.

There are three general classifications of extruded shapes: solid, hollow and semi-hollow.

What is the difference between solid, hollow and semihollow shapes?

Solid shapes

Solid shapes have no enclosed spaces, similar to channels or flat stock. A solid shape is any shape that is not hollow or semihollow.

Hollow shapes

A hollow shape is a shape that completely encloses a void anywhere in its cross-section. Hollow shapes contain a minimum of one enclosed space, such as a pipe

Semihollow shapes

Semi-hollow dies have partially enclosed spaces, an extremely tight channel is an example of this.
