I'm working on something that needs a small Al extrusion. I contacted Capral who want a couple of thousand for tooling (unwelcome but expected) but also have a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 250kg. That works out at +600m of extrusion, and for prototyping purposes I really only need 10m or so to prove the concept and tune the design. (I also get to pay for the 600m
Currently I'm machining 1.5m up in the profile I need but it's not "off tool" and lacks the undercuts and radii that an extrusion would have. Lengths needed are 200mm or more long so 3D printing and wire cut are not really going to help.
Anyone know of an extruder who specialises in short runs for prototype purposes?
