[WTB: EU] Custom aluminium panels/sheets
« on: July 22, 2018, 04:19:16 pm »
Does anyone knows a good company somewhere in (east) EU that can deliver customs CNC/Laser cut anodized aluminium sheets/panels for a (very) fair price for medium/small quantities?
(ideally also does silk screening or laser engraving)

I am familiar with Schaeffer, Modushop and a bunch of other companies, but they are WAY to expensive.

If your eyes can take the graphics, check the EMKO website ( https://www.emko.cz/en ).  They will do exactly as you describe and at a fraction of the cost of the likes of Schaeffer.  I have had some custom panels, CNC'd, then anodised before being laser engraved and a custom enclosure made to fit a PCB - they took the STEP model of the PCB and connectors and designed a case around it.

They specialise in small / medium quantities.

Worth dropping them an e-mail.

I send them a quote, but no answer yet.
They must be on summer holiday, or just completely melted by the temperatures.
(czech republic can be VERY hot in the summer)

Can you please keep us updated?
That would be great, I'm also interest/in search of a aluminum panel/case provider for future projects.
Thank you.

I have good experience with these guys. Dunno where you are located.

Anyway there are lots and lots of companies offering laser cutting so Google for that.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

I know but some really ask a hefty price.
Today I  just checked us.beta-layout.com but they aren't cheap either.
There should be a couple of stickies with this kind of information.
I feel like I am not the only one

I will ring up the Czech guys nexts week btw
