•    Description:  Alumex PLC in Sri Lanka conducted a die development project with the aim of increasing its hourly production rate in order to comply with international benchmarks. The case study described in this article compared three major die design variants (based on a profile for common sliding windows) in order to consider the benefits of applying baffle plate and relieved bearing  technologies. Design analysis and material flow optimization using QForm Extrusion software is presented, as well as the results of critical evaluations obtained from simulation software and their validation using a 6 inch, 15 MN extrusion press.
