Fabrication Guidelines
ALUPEX ® can be formed in any shape, angle or curve with ordinary metal and wood working machinery to fulfil requirements of any cladding
and design manifestos. Folding, curving, bending, cutting, joining, fastening, drilling etc. can be adopted with simple, easy and economical
skills to shape any architectural design form with flexibility.
GROOVING - Routing a groove using a
disk or end-milling cutter is much more
easier than making a groove in a wooden
substrate. Kindly ensure that 0.28mm of
plastic core material remains at the base
of groove for flat and consistent bending
at the groove during fabrication.
SAWING - Alupex panels can be cut with
a circular, band or jigsaw similar to any
other wood cutting process.

JIGGING - Alupex panels can be cut to
any shape and size by a contour cutting
process with water jets, profile milling
machines, contour saws and jigsaws.
GLUEING - Adhesive tape, liquid
adhesive, double sided adhesive tapes
etc. can be used on back surfaces.
Please note that these adhesives cannot
be used for the inner plastic cores and
also usage on the top painted surface is
not advisable.

BENDING - This can be done by using a
folding table or break press where the
inside bending radius is approximately
10 to 11 times of the panel thickness.
For the mass production it is advisable to
make a prototype. Please be aware that
the spring-back effect in case of these
panels is higher than that with other solid
metal sheets.
PUNCHING - These can be punched with
any conventional sheet punching
machines with evenly grounded tools
and narrowest cutting gap. Please note
that an inappropriate punching can cause
an indentation on the top surface.
