At our factory, we specialize in high-quality CNC milling of electronic housings using both aluminum and plastics. With our precision machining services we deliver functional prototypes that meet exact specifications. At the same time we maintain cost-efficiency and fast turnaround times. Davantech’s prototype services is the ideal solution to test your new product at it fullest.
Why CNC Milling for Electronic Housing Prototypes?
CNC milling offers the ideal solution for electronic housing development because:
- Exceptional precision (±0.05 mm tolerances) for perfect PCB fits and connector mounting
- Choice of Material to match your electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements (plastic and aluminum)
- Rapid production of functional prototypes without expensive tooling investments
- Design flexibility for last-minute modifications during development
Our CNC Milling Process for Electronic Enclosures
1. Design & Engineering Support
Before machining begins, our engineers review your CAD files (STEP, STL, IGES) to ensure manufacturability. We optimize designs for:
- Efficient machining (reducing costs)
- Proper heat dissipation (critical for electronics)
- Ease of assembly (snap fits, screw bosses, gasket grooves)
2. Material Selection
We recommend the best material based on your needs:
| Material | Best For | Key Benefits |
| Aluminum 6061 | EMI shielding, rugged use | Lightweight, strong, excellent heat dissipation |
| Aluminum 7075 | High-strength applications | Aerospace-grade durability |
| ABS Plastic | Lightweight, cost-effective enclosures | Impact-resistant, easy to machine |
| Polycarbonate (PC) | Transparent/translucent covers | Shatterproof, high clarity |
| Nylon (PA6, PA66) | Flexible, vibration-resistant parts | Chemical & abrasion resistant |
3. Precision CNC Milling
Our 3-axis and 4-axis CNC mills machine electronic enclosures with:
- Smooth internal cavities for PCB mounting
- Precision-cut slots for connectors and cooling vents
- Threaded inserts for secure fastening
4. Post-Processing & Finishing
After machining, we apply finishing touches:
- Deburring & smoothing edges for safety
- Anodizing (Type II or Type III) for corrosion resistance
- Laser etching for logos and labels
Applications of CNC-Milled Electronic Enclosures
Our enclosures are used in:
- Consumer Electronics – Smart devices, IoT sensors
- Industrial Controls – PLC housings, control panels, 19″ rack modules
- Aerospace & Defense – Avionics, ruggedized cases, front bezels
- Medical Devices – Diagnostic equipment, handheld tools
