Yes. We review customer drawings for architectural and industrial aluminum profiles, including the section geometry, wall thicknesses, alloy, temper, finish and critical assembly tolerances. Send DWG, DXF or PDF drawings, or STEP, STP or IGS models. Our engineering team confirms feasibility before tooling. The numbered die drawing requires your written approval, and trial samples are checked and submitted for acceptance before bulk production.

Minimum order quantity is assessed by the total weight of each profile section and color, in kilograms or metric tons. Existing dies and mill-finish profiles generally allow lower minimums. New custom dies, special powder colors, wood-grain finishes and partner-provided anodizing require a review of die size, profile weight per meter and production setup losses. We confirm the minimum for your specification; no single quantity applies to every project.

For suitable standard architectural and industrial sections on Guantian's 800–1,500-ton presses, indicative die fees are approximately USD 180–650, or around RMB 1,200–4,500. Section size, solid or hollow construction, cavities and tooling requirements determine the actual price. The quotation confirms the currency and fee; these ranges are not a fixed exchange-rate conversion. Eligible tooling fees can be refunded or credited after the agreed cumulative order quantity is reached. Typical new-project discussions may start around 5–10 or more metric tons, while some existing arrangements use thresholds up to 20 tons. The written terms for each die govern. Customer-specific tooling is identified and stored with confidentiality controls, and ownership, maintenance and refund arrangements are agreed in the order. Payment follows drawing approval and precedes die manufacture. If a trial does not meet the approved drawing, the necessary die correction or remake is provided without a correction charge; later customer design changes may add cost.

For standard dies, die manufacture and the initial extrusion trial usually take 7–15 days after drawing approval and receipt of the die fee. Section complexity, die size, press scheduling and further adjustments can affect this timing. We share trial results and any revised trial date. Bulk production is scheduled after sample approval and receipt of the deposit. Its lead time is confirmed based on the order quantity and final production plan.
