| Consumer grade enclosure for small/medium quantity product |

| AloyseTech:
Hi, I’m looking for manufacturer that sells of the shelf enclosure with consumer grade design (not plain industrial square box with visible screw etc...). This this for a wireless desktop product (kind of a network router with wireless), around 100x100x35mm. 1 DC Jack input, 1 RJ45. I’ve found New Ages Enclosure desktop series (https://www.newageenclosures.com/enclosures/utility--desktop/) but they only have a limited choice when it comes to a given size. There is also OKW Synergy serie, but this is a no go for wireless since they are in extruded aluminium (https://www.okw.com/en/Aluminium-enclosures/Synergy.htm). Do you guys know other manufacturer of this kind of enclosure? Thanks :) |

well an option is a extruded enclosure with screwed on metal plates and then snap in plastic cover plates. Or nice decorative screws, if you put a high quality chauffeured torx screw, it does look fairly high quality IMO. medium quality = go with aluminum +. Plastic would be low quality. internal antenna: NMV. |

https://www.polycase.com They may a a few things that are close. They are the best place I have found that will do machining/logos for a reasonable price. Your next to step is to do low volume injection mold to get the design you want. protoloabs.com is a fairly inexpensive point of entry. |

Polycase has the XR-46PMBT case (https://www.polycase.com/xr-46p)tha could fit. The visible is screw is not really an option. I know that nice looking screw do exist (and I personally don't mind having visible screw on a product myself), but it does not fit our target design. As for low volume injection mold, it might be the only solution for a fully custom enclosure. |

If you do extruded al you can also use long standoffs to hold the front cover on and use screw in the back, where the power etc is. |
