Mechanical Design and 3D printing

At WhaleTechnologies, our mechanical design and 3D printing services ensure that the physical aspects of your electronic products are as robust and refined as their internal circuitry. While we primarily specialize in designing and producing custom enclosures perfectly tailored for our PCBs, our capabilities extend to a broader range of functional prototypes and specialized components.

Our mechanical design process is seamlessly integrated with electronic development from its earliest stages. This collaborative approach ensures that enclosures are not merely protective shells, but intelligently designed components that optimize thermal management, accommodate connectors and user interfaces ergonomically, and facilitate efficient assembly. Critically, our designs are meticulously prepared for economic large-volume manufacturing, specifically optimized for injection molding processes. We consider material properties, environmental factors, user interaction, and manufacturing constraints from inception to deliver designs that are both functional, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-effective at scale.

We leverage advanced 3D printing technologies to accelerate your development cycle significantly. This allows us to rapidly transform your mechanical designs into functional, high-precision physical prototypes. These prototypes are ideal for:

• Custom Electronic Enclosures: Providing precise, robust housings that protect your PCBs and integrate seamlessly with your overall product design.

• Mechanical Fit and Form Testing: Enabling early physical validation of dimensions, clearances, and assembly procedures.

• Functional Component Prototyping: Creating specialized parts for mechanical testing or early-stage validation of complex mechanisms.

While our core strength lies in electronic enclosures, our mechanical design expertise and 3D printing resources are flexible. We are equipped to extend our services to other areas of mechanical prototyping and component design as required, ensuring comprehensive support for your project's physical requirements. This integrated approach allows us to iterate rapidly, ensuring every physical aspect of your hardware meets the demands of innovation, performance, and design integrity.
