What is Mechanical & Enclosure Design

Mechanical & Enclosure Design is the process of creating the physical structure of a product — including its outer casing, internal layout, and mechanical components. This design ensures that all electronic parts are securely housed, protected, and function properly within the final product.

Turnkey Mechanical & Enclosure Design Service

Turnkey Mechanical & Enclosure Design Service Mechanical/Enclosure Design is the essential process of transforming product concepts into practical, manufacturable, and user-friendly physical structures. The process generally includes the following stages:

PCB Layout Process
Requirement Gathering
  • Understand the product's function, size, components, environmental needs, and user expectations.
Concept Development
  • Sketch initial mechanical layouts and enclosure ideas. Explore form factors, materials, and assembly options.
3D CAD Modeling
  • Use professional CAD software (such as SolidWorks or Creo) to build accurate 3D models of the enclosure and internal structures.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
  • Optimize designs for injection molding, CNC machining, or other production methods — considering tolerances, drafts, and parting lines.
Prototyping
  • Create physical prototypes using 3D printing, CNC, or rapid tooling to test fit, finish, and functionality.
Design Review & Iteration
  • Evaluate the prototype, collect feedback, and refine the design as needed.
Final Design & Documentation
  • Prepare all engineering drawings, BOMs, and 3D files required for mass production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of products do you support with mechanical and enclosure design?

We support a wide range of industries, including consumer electronics, medical devices, industrial automation, IoT products, automotive components, and wearable technology.

What file formats do you accept or deliver for 3D mechanical/enclosure designs?

We typically work with STEP (.step/.stp), IGES (.iges/.igs), and native SolidWorks (.sldprt/.sldasm) files. We can also export STL for 3D printing or manufacturing.

Can you design enclosures for waterproof or rugged environments?

Yes. We can design enclosures that meet IP-rated standards (such as IP65, IP67, etc.) for waterproofing and dust resistance, as well as ruggedized casings for outdoor or industrial use.

Can you create enclosure designs based on a PCB file?

Yes. You can provide us with your PCB layout file (STEP, Gerber, or other CAD formats), and we will build the enclosure design around it with the correct fit and mounting features.

Do you offer prototyping services along with design?

Yes. We can assist with 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal and injection molding to prototype the mechanical parts before moving to mass production.

Do you sign NDAs to protect confidential designs?

Yes, we're happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure your project stays confidential.
