Enclosure & Housing Design
Product enclosures designed around the board, the display, the connectors and the human hand — not a box the electronics have to be forced into afterwards.

Mechanical Design Services
Enclosures, housings and mechanical assemblies for electronic products — designed together with the electronics inside them, not around them. From 3D CAD and thermal strategy through design for manufacture, with in-house rapid prototyping to close the loop between drawing and part.

What we do
From board outline to production-ready parts
Thermal Management
Heat paths, vents, spreaders and sinks decided early, from the electronics' real power budget — because a thermal problem found at the prototype stage is a mechanical redesign.
Heat sinkingAirflowThermal budgets
Design for Manufacture & Assembly
Parts designed for the process that will actually make them — injection moulding, sheet metal or machining — with draft, wall thickness, tolerances and assembly order thought through.
MouldingSheet metalMachining
Tolerance & Fit
Stack-up analysis, fits and datum schemes agreed before parts are cut, so assemblies go together the same way at unit one and unit ten thousand.
Stack-upsDatumsCritical dimensions
Sensor & Probe Mechanics
Housings for transducers, probes and sensors — where acoustic coupling, sealing, cable strain relief and cleaning requirements matter as much as the outside surface.
Probe housingsSealingStrain relief
Prototyping & Iteration
In-house 3D printing and quick-turn parts to test fit, feel and assembly in days — so the design that goes to tooling has already been held, dropped and taken apart.

How we work
Mechanical design that starts from the electronics
An enclosure is the last thing a user forgives and the first thing they touch. We design it from the inside out — the board, the heat, the connectors — and from the outside in — the grip, the workflow, the look — at the same time.
- Start with the electronics: board outline, connectors, keep-outs and heat sources.
- Block out the enclosure around the user's grip, gaze and workflow.
- Model in 3D CAD with the tolerance scheme and assembly order decided, not implied.
- Print and handle prototypes early — fit problems are cheapest before tooling.
- Design for the production process, with draft, walls, ribs and fasteners chosen for volume.
- Release with full drawings, BOM and the documentation production actually needs.
What you get
Deliverables from a mechanical engagement
What leaves our office at the end of a piece of mechanical work. The exact set depends on scope, and we agree it in writing before starting rather than at handover.
- 3D CAD models of all parts and assemblies
- 2D drawings with tolerances and critical dimensions
- Bill of materials with materials and finishes
- Tolerance stack-up analysis
- Thermal design notes and calculations
- DFM review against the chosen manufacturing process
- Prototype parts and fit-check reports
- Assembly documentation for production
Where our engineers are
Mechanical design services across India, from our Vadodara engineering team
Our engineering team works from two hubs: an engineering office in Vadodara, Gujarat and headquarters in Silicon Valley. Most day-to-day design work is carried out by the Vadodara team, which means clients across India — in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Delhi NCR, Ahmedabad and beyond — get direct access to the engineers doing the work, in the same time zone, at competitive rates — while the US office keeps the programme close to customers in North America.

Common questions
Mechanical design questions we are asked most
Do you take on mechanical design alone, or only alongside electronics?
Both. Most engagements pair mechanical design with our hardware and systems teams, which is where the approach pays off most — but we also take on standalone enclosure, thermal and DFM work for boards designed elsewhere.
Which manufacturing processes do you design for?
Injection moulding, sheet metal and machining for production, and 3D printing for prototypes and low volumes. We design for the process your volumes and budget actually justify, and review the design with the manufacturer before release.
Can you prototype enclosures in-house?
Yes. We 3D print in-house and use quick-turn suppliers for parts we cannot print, so fit, feel and assembly get tested in days rather than weeks. See our rapid prototyping page for how we work.
Where are your mechanical engineers located?
In our engineering office at Ozone, Sarabhai Road, Vadodara, Gujarat, with company headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. Clients across India work directly with the Vadodara team.
Have a product that needs a body?
Whether it is a handheld device, a probe housing or a rack instrument, tell us the constraints and we will tell you honestly how we would design it — and what it will take to manufacture.
