Altair Inspire Extrude Polymer

Fast, Easy Accurate & Affordable Extrusion Simulation

What is Extrude Polymer?

Altair Inspire Extrude Polymer (formerly Click2Extrude Polymer) software is a simulation based environment designed to help polymer extrusion companies meet the ever increasing demands to produce complex profiles with tight tolerances, quality surface finishes and high strength properties at reduced cost. Click2Extrude Polymer is a virtual press where users can visualize material flow and temperature inside a die during extrusion and make necessary changes to ensure balanced flow, while identifying and eliminating product defects.
