Metal Enclosures
From flat sheet to finished box, in-house.
Custom metal enclosures cut and formed from sheet steel, aluminum and stainless. Laser cutting, CNC press-brake, TIG welding, powder coating — all under one roof.

Materials
Five stocked grades, one shop
All five kept in rolled-sheet stock. Short runs ship in the same week regardless of material choice.
Finishes
Every finish done in-house
Finishing is where outsourced metal jobs go wrong. We brush, passivate, powder-coat and silk-screen on the same floor — so quality stays traceable.
- Powder coat (RAL / Pantone match)
- Anodize — clear, black, blue, red
- Stainless bead-blast + passivate
- Chemical conversion (Alodine)
- Zinc plate + chromate
- Brushed / polished (stainless)
- Silk-screen logos & legends
- EMI gasket install

Frequently Asked Questions
Metal enclosure FAQ
01What file formats do you accept?
STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor. For quote purposes a flat-pattern DXF is fastest; for production we prefer a STEP.
02Do you have a minimum order?
Qty 1 for prototypes. Tooling fees apply only for high-volume (> 1,000 units) where we invest in dedicated dies; up to qty 1,000 we run on shared CNC brake tooling with no NRE.
03Can you hit IP65 / NEMA 4?
Yes — through welded seams, continuous gasket grooves, and pressure-tested lid gasketing. We’ll submit the final assembly for IP65 drip-test on production lots as a QC option.
04What’s a typical lead time?
Prototype (1-5 enclosures): 7-10 working days. Production (50-500 units): 3-4 weeks including powder coat. Quick-turn aluminum boxes in 5 days on request.
