Use Additive Manufacturing to create custom PCB enclosures.
Use 3D printing for no tooling costs, and few design constraints when manufacturing your electronics casings.
3D Printed Manufacturing for Electronics Enclosures.
By 3D printing your enclosure, you can create a finished product experience for your hardware. Manufacturing with 3D people means you can have injection moulded quality parts without the tooling costs, minimum order quantities and design restrictions.
Six reasons to choose additive for PCB enclosures:
1. No Tooling Costs
1, 10 or 1000+ parts with no start-up costs. Unlike traditional manufacturing, we require no set-up costs to 3D print your part
2. No Min Quantity
Use our 3D printers to produce a 1 off prototype or a batch run of parts, there is no minimum order quantity required.
3. Design Freedom
Use design features impossible in traditional manufacturing. Modify the design of your product between orders.
4. Finishes Available
Take advantage of our Vibro-polishing, Black Dye & Colour Dye services for durable high end finishes.
5. Watertight Components
Manufacture watertight PCB enclosures that can pass IP ratings using our Vapour Smooth finishing.
6. Durable Materials
PA12 nylon will create a robust case easily capable of protecting your electronics.
Case Study: Pocket Operator Case
Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators are Ultra-portable groove boxes. Their unique style features an open PCB design that you can use without any enclosure. However, there is a large fanbase that still wants to protect their beat machines from damage.
Case Study: MarineGuard Systems
When installing a security system on a yacht, bespoke solutions are often required for each vessel. To house their security sensors, MarineGuard required a low volume batch of electronics enclosures that can be ordered on demand and adapted each time to their customer’s needs.
Case Study: Midi Thru Case
Tindie’s products are usually PCB boards for DIY projects and therefore do not come as a final consumer electronic product with casing. Starting with just the PCB itself, we reverse-engineered the board and designed a case for a perfect fit. The enclosure had to be rugged enough for bands to take on tour and be thrown about during stage installation and de-installation.
