Tools for working with aluminium
Calculate, compare, find profiles, analyse materials and solve your projects with simple, fast and accurate tools.
Profile weight
Weight per metre, per length and in total for any profile. From kilos to lengths, too.
Cut optimiser
Enter your cut list and see how many lengths to buy, how to cut each one and how much is left over.
Profile finder
The whole Perfiles catalogue, standard and by line: search by code, size or name and build your order.
Upload your drawing
Load a DWG, DXF, PDF, SVG or STEP file: kg/m, area, moments of inertia and whether it can be extruded, with the critical areas marked.

Open the dashboardThe Aluminium Guide
The basics in 10 short lessons: where it comes from, how a profile is made, alloys, tempers, finishes, standards and how it is bought.
- 01What aluminium is and where it comes fromIt is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, but it is never found pure. This is how a red rock becomes a profile, and how it is done in Argentina.5 min
- 02How an aluminium profile is made: extrusionA hot billet, a steel die and a press that pushes with hundreds or thousands of tonnes. Step by step, from the billet to the 6-metre length sold in Argentina.6 min
- 03Aluminium alloys: what 6063, 6061 or 7075 meanThe alloy number tells you what was added to the aluminium. Profiles almost always use the 6000 series, and each alloy has its place.5 min
- 04Aluminium tempers: what T4, T5 and T6 meanThe same alloy can be soft or hard depending on the heat treatment it received. That is the temper, and it is written after the alloy number.4 min
