Aluminium extrusion TDS template
A technical data sheet template made for aluminium extrusions — framing, T-slot and structural sections. Upload the die's cross-section and Dimviz fills the TDS: a 3D figure, envelope and wall dimensions, weight per metre or lb/ft at 6063 density, and the section properties for a structural check. See a live example below and generate your own.

What belongs on an extrusion TDS
Specifiers need the envelope and wall dimensions, the alloy and temper, the weight per length, and the section properties for load cases. A clean TDS puts the figure and these numbers together — and Dimviz derives the geometry-based fields directly from the section.
Framing and T-slot ready
T-slot and framing extrusions are defined by their slotted section. Dimviz renders the slots and bore and computes the envelope weight and properties, so the TDS shows the real profile, not a stand-in.
FAQ
What is a TDS?+
A Technical Data Sheet — the one-page reference that states a product's key dimensions, material, weight and engineering properties for specification.
How is the aluminium weight calculated?+
Cross-sectional area × 2.7 g/cm³ for 6063 aluminium, computed from your section geometry, shown as kg/m or lb/ft.
Can I add my alloy and finish?+
Yes — set the alloy, temper and finish; Dimviz fills the geometry-derived fields around them.
