Basic principles of mold design:

1. Uneven wall thickness is feasible, but the average of all wall thicknesses is more desirable.
2. The processing cost of solid extrusion is lower than that of hollow extrusion.
3. Extruded corners are designed as small radius arcs to avoid direct sharp corners.
4. Symmetrical extrusion can improve production efficiency.
5. Adding grooves or ribs to the extrusion improves strength and reduces extrusion wear.
6. For complex shapes, consider hollow or semi-hollow profiles in the design.
7. Near-net shapes can reduce or avoid machining.
8. Screw fixings can be incorporated into the design to improve ease of assembly.

Consumer Goods:

• Aluminum is used to produce furniture, cookware, sports equipment, and home appliance casings.

Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing:

• Aluminum is used to manufacture machine parts, molds, industrial equipment, and conveyor systems due to its strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for operation in complex environments.

• Recyclability: Aluminum is 100% recyclable and retains its properties during the recycling process, making it valuable from both an economic and environmental perspective.
• Formability: Aluminum is highly ductile and easy to process, allowing it to be stretched, extruded, and rolled into various shapes.
• Non-Magnetic: Being a non-magnetic metal, aluminum is suitable for use in devices sensitive to magnetism.
