One record per die, never modeled twice

ExtrusionManager is ExtrusionPower's data management module — every die exists exactly once in a shared, searchable database with revision history, approval status, bill of materials and linked 2D/3D files.

Why it matters

"Does this profile already exist?" gets one answer

Without a shared system, the same die profile often gets modeled more than once by different people on the same team. ExtrusionManager centralizes every die record so engineers search before they model, and management gets a real view of what exists, what's approved, and what's in progress.

FAQ

Common questions about ExtrusionManager

Q01 What problem does ExtrusionManager solve?+

It stops the same die profile from being modeled more than once by giving every die a single, searchable record that the whole team can check before starting new work.

Q02 Does it replace our existing file server or ERP?+

No — it sits alongside them as the searchable record of die-specific data: geometry, revisions, approval status and linked files, purpose-built for extrusion die manufacturing.

Q03 Can it track who approved a die and when?+

Yes — every die record carries approval status and a full audit trail of changes, so accountability is built in, not reconstructed after the fact.

Q04 Does it work with files from Extrumat and ExtrusionFlow?+

Yes — 2D drawings, 3D models and simulation results from the other ExtrusionPower modules link directly to the die's record in ExtrusionManager.

Q05 How is access controlled across a team?+

Role-based permissions determine who can view, edit or approve records, so sensitive customer or design data stays restricted to the right people.
