Improving Aluminium Extrusion Quality Control at Perfil Alumínio with SFM
Perfil Alumínio has implemented Scan Fit & Measure to make its aluminium profile inspections faster and more efficient while reducing the possibility of human error.
The company has always maintained effective quality-control processes, but it continues to search for new technologies that can improve the way its products are inspected. Together with EngView, Perfil identified Scan Fit & Measure as a solution that could support this goal.
Faster Profile Inspection
With Scan Fit & Measure, Perfil can inspect multiple cavities produced by the same extrusion die with greater speed. The technology also enables the quality team to control more dimensions with less manual effort.
This helps Perfil perform quality inspections more efficiently and obtain detailed information about the profile geometry during the measurement process.
Reverse Engineering from a Physical Sample
One of the capabilities that particularly stands out for Perfil is reverse engineering.
Using a physical profile sample, the team can create a detailed digital drawing and export it in DWG format. This gives Perfil a faster way to obtain accurate profile geometry when working from an existing sample.
Customer Testimonial
“Our quality control has always been very effective, but Perfil continues to search for technologies that can make it even more efficient and further reduce the possibility of human error.With Scan Fit & Measure, we can inspect multiple cavities from the same extrusion die much faster and control more dimensions with less effort. One feature that particularly stands out is reverse engineering. With a simple sample, we can create a high-quality DWG drawing.”

Innovation and Technology
Innovation and technology are part of Perfil’s DNA. By introducing Scan Fit & Measure, the company has invested in an advanced solution for aluminium profile quality control.
Perfil is also the first company in Brazil to work with this technology.
About Perfil Alumínio
Perfil Alumínio was founded in 1995 and began its activities by distributing aluminium profiles. After identifying new market needs, the company developed exclusive, high-standard construction systems.
Today, Perfil operates on a 250,000 m² site with two 7-inch direct extrusion presses and a modern vertical electrostatic powder-coating line.
About Scan Fit & Measure
Scan Fit & Measure helps manufacturers inspect aluminium profiles faster and control more dimensions with less manual effort. It also supports reverse engineering, allowing physical profile samples to be converted into detailed DWG drawings.
FAQ
How does Perfil Alumínio use SFM for aluminum profile quality control?
Perfil Alumínio uses Scan Fit & Measure to automate profile inspections, measure multiple dimensions, and reduce human error in its quality control process.
How does SFM improve multi-cavity extrusion die inspection?
SFM allows manufacturers to inspect multiple profiles from the same extrusion die in a single scan, reducing inspection time and improving measurement efficiency.
How does reverse engineering of aluminum profiles work with SFM?
SFM scans a physical aluminum profile, captures its geometry, and generates a detailed CAD drawing that can be exported in DWG format.
What are the benefits of automated aluminum profile inspection?
Automated aluminum profile inspection reduces manual work, improves measurement consistency, and enables faster detection of dimensional deviations.
How does Scan Fit & Measure help reduce human error in quality control?
Scan Fit & Measure automates dimensional measurements and compares scanned profiles with predefined specifications, reducing reliance on manual inspection and minimizing human error.
