Designing electronic product enclosures

Engineering services for the development of enclosures made of plastic, metals and composites. Integration of designers' ideas with production requirements and product business goals. EnCata designs and creates any part of a product, even enclosures using plastic enclosure design, that physically separates the exterior from the interior environment of a device. The electroniсal and mechanical part of your prototype is not a finished product without an enclosure. Create your own enclosures starting with enclosure design at EnCata.
‍
Designing the right enclosure is critical for the success of your electronic device, whether it is wireless industrial control, medical equipment, or part of an energy distribution system. The enclosure with all buttons or touchpads is the interface between your buyers and your product functionality. Enclosure design also determines the production cost and durability of your device. Perfect functionality of the electronics and software could be spoiled by poorly designed and produced enclosure.

After the digital design is ready, we will make a prototype using durable and acceptable material for its future environment and use cases. Our customers get a design that meets their needs and also securely keeps hardware components inside. 

We believe that choosing the right material is an important part of the process. If you need a product for sale, we will provide a high-quality enclosure to tolerate a customer's use. If you want to produce a branded product, then we will prepare a design that corresponds to the DNA of your brand. We will design a waterproof enclosure for your product to be able to withstand unfavorable weather conditions. In addition, we will take into account who will use the device. This knowledge leads to the best solution for the product enclosure.

60+ Engineers

We act as your extended R&D team which is faster than hiring engineers locally. The breadth of our technical expertise is unique.

Development Speed

Our dedicated team is ready to scale up quickly. We utilize AGILE lean development process that leads to 30-50% faster delivery.

Burn rate

Cost-effectiveness

Our development location enables us to be cost-effective and deliver premium R&D and engineering services at 1/3 of the price compared to that of in N-W Europe and USA.

Custom enclosure design

Our industrial designers start enclosure design  with interviewing the customer to clarify the device functionality and appearance preferences. We prepare a functional description of the enclosure and make some sketches or draft models to discuss the requirements and adjust them with the technology constraints. After clarifying the wishes and specifying the request for enclosure design, we use simulations and modeling, with which we create enclosures with a perfect fit, combining safety, functionality, and cost-effectiveness.

‍
When developing machine enclosure design as well as electronic enclosure design, we look not only at the size and shape of all components but also determine how they will be located and how the end-user will access sensors and a power source.

After the digital design is ready, we will make a prototype using durable and acceptable material for its future environment and the end-user. Prototyping is an important step for designing waterproof enclosures. At this step, we test sealing design.

Industrial Design

Industrial Design gives the maximum opportunity to estimate and think over the interior and exterior of your product. At this stage, easier to adjust and make a decision about the dimensions of the enclosure, as an important part of your final product.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is not only about the development of products that will be mass-produced. Mechanical Engineering includes both Components design and  Enclosure design and development. Starting new projects, we always take into consideration these two parts of customers’ product.
‍

FEA and CFD simulations

Computer Simulations

Numerical modeling is often used at the first stages of product development. When designing the enclosure, it is a big moment to take into account external and internal factors that will subsequently affect the developing device. At CFD stage, we check enclosure ventilation design or gather data to choose material.

Custom electronics design

Electrical Engineering

In our team, we have mechanical and electronics engineers working under one roof. It helps us to consider heat dissipation, antenna arrangement, condensation in the enclosure, convenience of assembly of electronic and mechanical parts, and wiring.

Proof-of-Concept Prototyping

Proof of concept is used not only for the functional tests but also for strength and resistance testing of enclosures. Although as part of the demonstration, we are building a small prototype, a prototype, a mathematical or computer model, which are not necessarily full-fledged products, nevertheless, the body of your device already performs its basic functions.
‍

Moulds and Tools Manufacturing

Metal is the material of choice for many products that need to be durable and cost-effective. With EnCata you can be sure that the shape you've chosen is easily manufacturable. As plastic is much easier to shape with proprietary molds and provides corrosion immunity; we can easily customize it to create unique shapes for your product.

Design an enclosure to go along your product roadmap

At the very beginning, we often dissuade our Clients from developing their own enclosure. It is cheaper and faster to use an adapted standard enclosure. You can place control panel and buttons on it and give it to users. In this case, the main work of the developer is to arrange all the elements inside the standard enclosure and provide auxiliary elements for mounting. 

However, it is necessary to develop your own unique enclosure when your product differentiates from competitors with a new improved design or the main value for the user is ergonomics and design. In this case, it is impossible to test the prototype on users without producing a case that closely follows the shape and texture of the serial product as much as possible. In such projects, we spend a lot of effort both on design and prototyping. We are trying different technologies: 3D printing, silicone molding, vacuum forming. We can even make a manual mold made of aluminum to get the enclosure by injection molding.
