extrusion die

An extrusion die is a specialized tool used in manufacturing to shape materials like metals, plastics, or rubber as they are forced through it. Imagine squeezing toothpaste through a tube: the thin opening (the die) gives the material its final cross-sectional shape. The die is designed to produce specific profiles—such as rods, pipes, or intricate shapes—by controlling the material's flow. As the material passes through the die under pressure, it takes on the desired form, allowing for efficient and precise production of continuous lengths of shaped products.
