What Is 80/20?

 

80/20 is a construction method that uses T-slots to build strong structures. The 80/20 extrusion allows you to combine and take apart extrusions to create custom extrusions for your customers. 8020 aluminium extrusions can be shaped into long stocks of any design by heating them and pressing them through a mould at high pressure.

The 80/20 is made using aluminium extrusion. This is where metal is pushed through a die to create the desired shapes and sizes. It also has different metrics and functional profiles. The fraction consists of two series: the 10 Series, which measures 1 inch by 1 inch, and the 15 Series, which measures 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches.
