Extrusion is a manufacturing process in which a material is forced through a shaped opening, resulting in a continuous profile with a cross-section that matches the shape of the opening. Extrusion is used to create a variety of products, including plastic pipes, rubber hoses, metal beams, and food products such as pasta and candy. The extrusion process can be divided into three basic steps: preparation of the material, extrusion of the material, and finishing of the extruded product.
