Aluminum punch windows and curtainwall design requires a very tedious work
There are a lot of detailing involved just to draw a simple window. It does not only require a knowledge of drafting but also some kind know-how in mechanical engineering and structural engineering. Curtain wall design is mechanical in nature due to the fact that there are a lot of components involved. An aluminum window may look like simple but it is actually composed of a lot small parts that are very critical in terms of dimensions. An aluminum die should fit perfectly to another aluminum die or else everything willbe wasted. Extrusion of aluminum section or die is a bit expensive and therefore if a die was clumsily designed this would mean a repeat of the entire design process up to the another die extrusion.
