Profile

(Profile as a shape) The term profile refers to shaped plastic that has a consistent cross-section along its entire length. In our extrusion and casting operations, plastic profiles are produced in various shapes, including rods, bars, flat materials, shaped semi-finished products and special profiles. These profiles serve as important components in numerous applications, from the construction industry to the manufacture of vehicles and furniture.
(Profile as a type of representation) Profile also refers to the representation of a defining cross-section or a side view that characterises the overall shape of a workpiece. This definition is often applied in various fields, from sculpture and architecture to graphic design and photography. A profile can illustrate the essential features and contours of an object and therefore plays an important role in capturing and communicating shapes and designs."
