Recently, I am working on an outdoor product project, requiring the use of aluminum profiles, the product is positioned at the middle and low end, and the price is cheap.

Why did you take this project this time?

On the one hand, it is also the first time that I have used aluminum profiles to do product design. I will share what I have learned these days.

On the other hand, I feel that using aluminum profiles for design can be a good argument: why do we always emphasize that designers should learn about materials, processing, technology and other aspects when doing product design, as well as the problem of controlling product costs

Let's learn how to design with aluminum profiles.


How did you get here

Look at the animation at the top


Take a look at the most common profile products in our life.

Often used to make doors and windows, cheap, strong and durable.

Profile characteristics

Through the video, we can find the processing characteristics of aluminum profiles.

1. The diameter of each part of the product is the same

2. The cross-sectional shape of each part of the product is the same

3. Low product cost

Low price of raw materials

Profile processing method is simple



Case product

It can be seen from the case that the size and shape of each section of the product are exactly the same.

If you think about it from the perspective of software modeling, you can simply stretch the section line to get the shape.



Summary

1. Profile products are often used in outdoor product design, such as doors and windows, lamps, charging treasure, mechanical products, etc.

2. Simply put, the product of profile forming and processing is just like the product obtained by drawing a section with a line when modeling, and then stretching the line.

3. Through the design of profile products, we can more clearly understand why ID designers should learn to understand the processing and technology of products and how to control the cost of products.

Curious about how the first profile with through holes was realized

For example, for a hollow round pipe, you must be thinking about how to fix the mold of the hole in the middle, because once fixed, it cannot be closed. This is a combined mold. First, the solid material is squeezed through the mold with the "hole" in the middle. The mold may have three corners and be fixed with the outer ring. The material may be divided into 3 parts, and then the material will continue to be pushed forward. Because the material is soft, the material divided into 3 parts will merge and fuse, and pass through the mold with the outer diameter. It is difficult to express in words, you can check the video.
