Engineering before fabrication

Resolve chassis risk before metal reaches the laser

OEM engineers usually arrive with more than a box drawing. They have PCB keep-outs, connector windows, fan curves, service access, grounding paths and a target build time. Our five-engineer team reviews those relationships as one mechanical system.

Tolerance strategy

Critical-to-function dimensions separated from cost-driving cosmetic tolerances.

Airflow architecture

Vent patterns, fan mounts and internal obstructions reviewed together.

Grounding continuity

Masking, hardware and metal-to-metal contact planned into the finish.

Assembly access

Fastener direction and tool clearance designed for efficient builds.

Custom chassis fabrication detail

A practical material system

Choose metal and finish by function

Aluminum

Low mass, thermal response and corrosion resistance for portable or high-value electronics.

5052 · 6061 · Anodized · Chem film

Cold-Rolled Steel

Stiff, economical construction for equipment frames, covers and production chassis.

CRS · Zinc plated · Powder coated

Stainless Steel

Cleanability and corrosion resistance for medical, food and demanding industrial use.

304 · 316L · Brushed · Passivated

One controlled path from drawing to shipment

Fewer supplier handoffs mean clearer accountability when dimensions, appearance and assembly all matter.

Chassis design guide

Chassis Design Checklist Before Fabrication

A useful custom chassis design review starts with the interfaces that cannot move. This checklist helps chassis engineering teams expose missing inputs before prototype metal is cut.

Design inputWhat to defineFabrication impact
PCB dimensionsBoard outline, standoff pattern and keep-outsBase size, datums and mounting accuracy
Connector locationsPort centers, plug envelope and cable bendCutout position and panel tolerance
Thermal sourcesHeat load, airflow direction and hot zonesVent, fan and baffle geometry
Grounding requirementsBonding points and conductive interfacesHardware, masking and finish notes

Future upgrade plansLikely board, I/O or power changesModular panels and reusable brackets
