Used in industrial or manufacturing contexts to describe the production process.

Industrial Action

Creates a visual of something being pushed out with force or under pressure.

Mechanical Image

Implies a physical transformation of material from one form to another.

Physical Change

Emphasizes that extruding involves creating a particular shape, not random.

Specific Shape

Indicates a technical, often factory-based process for mass production.

Technical Process

The material is not just ousted; it's shaped into a new form as well.

Material Transformation

Can describe natural processes or occurrences where something extends out.

Natural Occurrence

Highlights that the object is visibly sticking out from a surface or boundary.

Visible Extension

Used when something is protruding from a larger object or structure.
