In this study, a extrusion process with torsion of the bottom die is investigated to improve the forming performance of conventional extrusion process. In the experiment, plasticine is used as a model material. The results of experiments are compared with the two numerical methods, the Experiment and the Finite Element Method(FEM). An attempt is made to link programs incorporating with the process variables obtained by commercial FEM software, DEFORM-3D a useful package. Numerical result is compared with experimental one. These results show that the torsional extrusion process is very useful process because this process can obtain the homogenous deformations.
