Constraints & layout
Capture external dimensions, board locations, mounting needs, connectors and access requirements.
Mechanical CAD
Mechanical CAD & enclosures
3D parts, enclosure models, assembly fit and technical drawings.
GIVE THE ELECTRONICS A PLACE TO BELONG
Mechanical design gives the product its physical boundaries. Our CAD service supports part and enclosure modelling, assembly coordination and technical drawings, with the intended fabrication approach considered in the brief.
ENGINEERING SCOPE
Scope of work
The exact activities, depth of review and outputs are defined for your project.
Part & enclosure models
Develop the agreed 3D parts and enclosure geometry around the product requirements and reference dimensions.
Assembly review
Review how parts come together, with attention to clearances, mounting, connector access and serviceability.
Drawing & file handover
Prepare the agreed model exports and technical drawings with relevant dimensions and revision notes.
WHAT YOU TAKE FORWARD
Typical deliverables
- 3D part and assembly models in agreed formats
- Neutral-format exports, where scoped
- Dimensioned technical drawings
- Assembly views or fit-review notes
- Revision record and open design assumptions
Illustrative deliverables. Final outputs, file formats, ownership terms and acceptance criteria are agreed in the project scope.
WHAT HELPS US START
Information to share
- Board outline or existing 3D PCB model
- Required external dimensions and mounting locations
- Connector positions and user-access requirements
- Preferred material and intended fabrication process
- Reference parts, existing models or sketches
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Engineering considerations
Fit
Board placement, component heights, connector reach and assembly clearances.
Use
Access to controls, installation points and expected maintenance needs.
Fabrication
Material choice, tolerances and process constraints to discuss with the manufacturer.
SERVICE QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Can CAD work start before the PCB is final?
Yes, with agreed reference dimensions and interface assumptions. Changes to the board outline or connector positions may require mechanical revisions.
Do you provide physical prototypes?
The core service is design and CAD documentation. Printing, machining, tooling or other physical fabrication must be discussed as separate scope.
Which file format will I receive?
The required native and exchange formats are agreed before work begins. Share the tools or manufacturer requirements that the files need to support.
