Products & Services
Protocase manufactures fully finished custom electronic enclosures and associated parts from a wide variety of materials and components, in 2-3 days with no minimum order. Protocase also provides expert and affordable enclosure design services.
Enclosure Design Services
Our experienced design staff can design your enclosure for you, starting from anything from a rough description, to components and circuit boards. Design Services are used by customers who are too busy to take on the design work themselves, and wish to free up staff for other tasks, or who simply lack the resources or know-how required to design their enclosure. Our design staff's speed and experience make our design services surprisingly cost effective, and you may save further time because their intimate knowledge of Protocase's manufacturing capabilities virtually eliminates non-manufacturable features and resultant revision cycles.
Start by contacting an account manager, who will discuss your requirements, and ask you to send a description of your enclosure, which may include a Sketch, Components and/or a Description.
Step 2:Protocase will send you a quote for the cost of design services, and the cost of manufacturing the enclosure (note that this is only possible if your description is sufficiently complete - if not you will be quoted a range).
Step 3:Protocase designs your enclosure, consulting with you when required. An edrawing is sent to you for your approval.
Step 4:Once you've approved the edrawing, CAD files are sent to you in a format of your choice. You own the design. Also, if requested, your design will enter production.
