Combining the advantages of hot extruded sections with the laser welding technology, leads to a completely new world of possibilities. The dimensional limits of steel extrusions are overruled by the possibility of combining various extruded shapes among each other, or with flats to new, larger profiles, that would be too big to be extruded as one profile only. Extruded pre-shapes with functional details, like undercuts or notches, can for example be welded to flats bars to create sharp corner profiles, which otherwise would be difficult or even impossible to realize.
