Mechanical Design
Functional enclosures and components that integrate seamlessly with electronics.
What we deliver
Enclosure design
Housing, sealing and fixings drawn around the board rather than fitted to it afterwards.
Board-to-housing fit
Connector positions, mounting, tolerance stack and clearances checked against the layout.
Thermal strategy
Dissipation paths, airflow or conduction, and the component placement that follows from them.
Production-ready CAD
Drawings, tolerances and material choices a moulder or machinist can quote from.
Why it matters
- Enclosures engineered around the electronics, so PCBs and connectors fit first time.
- Aesthetic, ergonomic designs for consumer or industrial use.
- Material and finish selection for durability, sealing and thermal dissipation.
- DFM and DFX optimised for tooling and assembly.
- Rapid prototyping by 3D print or CNC for quick validation.

Decided with the board, not after it
Board, firmware and enclosure are carried by one team, so the trade-offs between them are made deliberately instead of being discovered at integration. A connector that has to move is a layout change and a housing change settled in the same conversation.
CAD, drawings and material choices hand over with everything else at the end of each stage, so the production pack is complete on the day the programme transfers.

Common questions
- Can you prototype our enclosure?
- Yes. We 3D-print or machine prototype parts so form and fit can be tested early, with the real electronics inside them.
- How do the electronics fit?
- The enclosure is drawn around the PCB geometry rather than fitted to it afterwards, so connectors, mounting and clearances are checked against the layout source itself.
- What materials do you work with?
- Plastics such as ABS and polycarbonate, metals including aluminium and steel, and composites. We advise on the best material for strength and manufacturability.
