C-Beam Cross Section Area and Dimensions Calculators

Overview:

C-Beam is an extrusion shaped like the letter "C" used in structural applications, particularly CNC machines and 3D printers. Its open channel design allows for the integration of linear motion systems, where wheels or bearings can run along the beam's internal tracks. This design is ideal for building modular and customizable frameworks, providing strength and precision in automated systems, robotics, and machine construction applications. C-Beams are favored for their lightweight yet robust structure, allowing smooth movement and easy assembly.
