For a completely different industry, namely automotive lighting, it&#8217;s important that the fixtures are small, indestructible, and stylish, but also have enough surface area to dissipate the heat from the LEDs. Aluminum extrusion is also excellent for this. We calculate how much surface area is needed to make the design as slim and suitable as possible. One of the smallest examples is the Track from Dutch Electro, with a surface area smaller than your thumb. The great thing about this profile is that it can also be expanded as a building block with all kinds of profiles to meet the customer&#8217;s requirements. Plastic profiles, casting caps, and even one of the smallest aluminum click profiles we&#8217;ve designed can be clicked onto it. And as technical readers will know, the smaller the profile, the harder it is to achieve the required travel in your click!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-post__image\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1995 blog-post__image\" src=\"https:\/\/fabrique-invent.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Track-40-exploded_v3-1-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabrique-invent.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Track-40-exploded_v3-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/fabrique-invent.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Track-40-exploded_v3-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/fabrique-invent.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Track-40-exploded_v3-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/fabrique-invent.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Track-40-exploded_v3-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/fabrique-invent.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Track-40-exploded_v3-1-2048x1152.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The guiding profile of the Portofino \u2013 Lewens Winner of the GDA Aluminium Profile Award 2020.
