3D printing - enclosure manufacturing

What is the ordering and manufacturing process for an enclosure?

01

Meeting

We discuss the concept and requirements of the project and the estimated order volumes.

02

Quotation and project schedule

We prepare a quotation and a detailed collaboration and delivery schedule.

03

Design and prototyping

We prepare prototypes and refine them based on your guidelines in successive upgrades. This stage lasts from a week to a month.

04

Just-in-time production

The final version of the project goes to print. Orders arrive at your chosen dates and in the quantities you need.

05

Continuous project improvement

With 3D printing technology, you can continuously improve your design based on user feedback at no extra cost.

Why Choose 3D Printing?

Zero initial costs – you only pay for the parts you order

Significantly reduced implementation time (up to 3 days from project approval)

No need to store parts (orders from 1 pc.)

Possibility of continuous project modifications

Finishes for the Multi Jet Fusion

Sanding without graphite

Parts after printing are only sanded with glass beads. The parts are in their natural color in which they were printed.

Light gray, matte

Sanding with graphite

Parts after printing are sanded with glass beads doped with graphite. This results in a uniform graphite color.

Black, matte

Dye Black

The parts are sanded and then dip dyed black.

Additional finishing cost +10%

Black, matte

Polyshot

Additional finishing cost +30%

The parts are sanded without graphite, then dip-dyed black and sandblasted once more with a special medium that imparts a shine.

Black, semi-matte

Vaporfuse (chemical processing)

Additional finishing cost +50%

The parts are sanded without graphite, then dip dyed black. The final gloss is obtained by placing the parts in a chamber with solvent fumes, which overmelt the surfaces.

Black, glossy

Assembly of inserts

Additional cost determined individually

If threaded connections are needed, we can install metal inserts. Contact our engineers for exact design instructions.

When Is 3D Printing Cost-Effective?

HP Multi Jet Fusion devices offer comparable part quality to injection molding, so the deciding factor remains the cost, which depends on the geometry, size, and ordered volume of the components. Geometric complexity of the project significantly favors 3D printing in this regard, while larger part sizes lean towards injection molding. 

Here are the key advantages of 3D printing over injection molding:

  • No Initial Costs: 3D printing eliminates the need for costly molds.
  • Rapid Turnaround: It offers fast production turnaround times.
  • Greater Geometric Flexibility: 3D printing excels at handling complex designs.
  • Design Flexibility Between Batches: You can make project changes between production runs.

FAQ

Our experts address the most common inquiries about additive manufacturing for electronic casing production.

What is the minimum number of enclosures I can order from you?
We do not have a minimum order quantity. We only have a minimum order cost, and it is EUR 40 net.
I am interested in making an enclosure for electronics. What should I do to get a quote?
You are welcome to make an appointment to speak to our engineer who will gather key information for your project. You will receive a quote and an estimate within 24 hours of the call.
Can I order enclosures in any colour?
Yes, we can paint the enclosures in any RAL colour, but this extends the order processing time.
I need enclosures for a device, but I do not even have a 3D design. How long does the entire process of creating enclosures take?
Preparation of the project usually takes from a week to a month, depending on the degree of complexity. Once the project has been approved, the enclosures are delivered to you in up to 3 days.
