Designing Custom Extrusions: How We Work with OEM Engineers

Designing Custom Extrusions: How We Work with OEMEngineers

Great products start with great design. For OEMs, that often means finding a partner who can take an idea from concept toproduction-ready extrusion without costly missteps. At Lincoln Plastics, we pride ourselves on being more than a supplier — we’re a collaborative partner for engineers, purchasing managers, and product designers.

A Collaborative Approach

Every project begins with understanding. Our team works directly with OEM engineers to: - Review application needs and performance requirements - Recommend material options for durability, flexibility, or aesthetics - Suggest profile designs that reduce secondary processing - Align production planning with your supply chain and timelines

This back-and-forth process ensures we’re building an extrusion profile that does exactly what you need — not just a close approximation.

Why It Matters

Too often , manufacturers are forced to adapt their designs to fit what a supplier can deliver. That leads to compromises in performance, quality, or efficiency. By contrast, Lincoln Plastics tailors extrusion profiles to your unique challenge. That means: - Fewer modifications after production - Stronger product performance in the field - Reduced total cost by eliminating unnecessary steps

From Idea to Production

Whether you have a detailed spec sheet or just a concept, we meet you where you are. Some customers come to us with CAD models and exact tolerances. Others bring only a problem they need solved. In both cases, our engineers and production team work hand-in-hand to design, build, and deliver the right extrusion.
