Electronic and IOT covers

Overview

Our electronic and IoT cover projects demonstrate expertise in creating housings that balance aesthetics, functionality, and manufacturability. Designing electronic covers requires careful consideration of dimensions, as working in three dimensions ensures that the final product fits all internal components and meets spatial requirements. Certain design choices allow for improved functionality or user experience, such as intuitive layouts or ergonomic features. We specialize in:

  • Design for injection molding (a process where molten material is injected into a mold to form parts)

  • Overmold grips (adding a soft or textured layer over a rigid part for improved ergonomics)

  • Achieving industry standards such as IP67 rating (protection against dust and immersion in water)
