Altair Inspire Extrude
What is Altair Inspire Extrude™?
Altair Inspire Extrude™ is an advanced simulation solution for metal and polymer extrusion processes. It allows users to test and optimise complex profiles for precision, surface quality, and strength — all before physical die production begins.
With Inspire Extrude, users can create virtual die models to assess extrusion behaviour, identify potential defects, and ensure optimal material flow. This approach allows for the early detection of issues such as profile distortion, seam weld defects, grain size inconsistencies, and overheating. By simulating these elements, companies can make better design decisions, reduce production waste, and save time and resources.
The software supports both metal and polymer extrusion, with guided templates for spiral dies, coextrusion, and metal-insert extrusion. Its intuitive interface provides easy-to-use geometry creation and simplification tools, enabling users to refine designs and make quick adjustments without relying on multiple CAD tools.

Key features of Altair Inspire Extrude™
Altair Inspire Extrude™ is packed with industry-focused features that make it easier to design, test, and optimise metal and polymer extrusion processes. From predicting defects to simplifying CAD file modifications, these features empower users to achieve higher production quality while reducing costs.
Make Better Design Decisions
Altair Inspire Extrude™ provides users with the ability to make more informed design decisions, ensuring production success from the start. Its advanced simulation engine detects extrusion defects such as profile distortion, deflection, charge welds, and seam welds. This allows users to resolve issues before building physical dies, significantly reducing production errors and costs.
The platform also supports the analysis of profile quality, grain size, and surface finish, offering a comprehensive view of potential challenges before production begins. Users can validate even the most complex profiles for strength, durability, and appearance.
Intuitive Workflow
The streamlined workflow of Altair Inspire Extrude™ makes it easy to create, modify, and optimise extrusion designs. Its CAD-friendly environment allows users to de-feature and modify imported geometry directly within the software, without requiring extensive CAD skills.
Inspire Extrude Polymer offers guided process templates for various extrusion scenarios, such as coextrusion, spiral dies, coextrusion with metal inserts, and film and sheet dies. This intuitive approach reduces complexity, enabling faster simulations and better designs.
