What's that stuff called that you build things out of?

I'm trying to source this aluminum track stuff but I have no idea what it's called or where to get it. I can't even describe it christ's sake.

Here's a cnc built out of it. It's the aluminum track/structure material and bracket components I'm looking for.

Scroll down a bit and you'll see the pic of a CNC machine.
 
I figured it's not sold as a kit but does it have a category or common name other than extruded aluminum rail?

😀 That should support even the most "robust" of girls... 😉

Just don't encourage her to go build the stuff. There's enough dammed women in the trades...and some of them are dangerously distractive...😀
 
80/20 is one company that sells a bunch of extrusion and accessories (including linear bearings, etc, that you would need for sliding assemblies).
