Custom enclosures

Production enclosures manufactured without tooling investment.

Custom housings for IoT devices, sensors, gateways, and embedded electronics. 50–500 pieces per SKU in ASA, PETG, PETG ESD, and PA-CF. Engineer-reviewed. 3–5 day turnaround.

When to use FDM enclosures

Injection molding

  • €10,000–50,000 tooling per mold
  • 6–12 weeks before first part
  • Design locked after tooling
  • MOQ 1,000+ to justify investment

FDM production

  • €0 tooling
  • 3–5 business days
  • Design changes between batches
  • Any quantity: 1–500 pieces

Enclosure applications

Common enclosure types manufactured for electronics and IoT hardware teams.

IoT gateway enclosures

LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Zigbee. Antenna windows, cable glands, DIN rail mounts.

Sensor module housings

Custom-fit to your PCB and sensor layout. Temperature, humidity, air quality.

ESD-safe electronics housings

PETG ESD for RF modules and sensitive sensor electronics. 10⁷–10⁹ Ω.

DIN rail enclosures

Industrial automation, building management, energy monitoring.

PCB enclosures

Standoffs, ventilation, cable routing, access panels. Threaded inserts for assembly.

IP-rated outdoor cases

Gasket grooves, cable gland provisions, UV-resistant ASA.

Enclosure design constraints

  • Snap-fit features require clearance allowance. PETG has 23% elongation; PETG ESD has 5–8%.
  • Antenna windows should be designed with material dielectric properties in mind.
  • IP-rated enclosures: gasket groove design must account for FDM dimensional variance (±0.3 mm).
  • Threaded inserts: design boss ID 0.2 mm undersized for heat-set installation.
  • Thin walls (<1.2 mm) may cause print quality issues. Contact engineering for guidance.
