Extrudé
Extrudé is a French term that translates to "extruded" in English. In the context of manufacturing and materials science, extrusion refers to a process where a material is pushed through a die of a desired cross-section. This process is commonly used for metals, plastics, and food products. For metals, extrusion can create complex shapes like pipes, rods, and custom profiles. In the plastics industry, it is used to produce films, sheets, and tubing. For food, extrusion is employed in the production of pasta, breakfast cereals, and pet food, where it can also cook and shape the product simultaneously.
