Precision Manufacturing for Electronics
Custom housings, heat sinks, shielding components, and structural parts for electronic hardware.
At PartsMake, we manufacture the mechanical components that house, protect, and cool electronic assemblies. From engineering samples to thousands of production units, our team combines manufacturing expertise with design-for-manufacturing review so parts arrive ready for assembly.
3–5 axis
CNC machining options
±0.05 mm

Scalable batch sizes
Engineering-led production
Reduce manufacturing risk before material is cut or tooling is built.
Core capabilities
Mechanical systems built around electronic performance
Our processes support the full lifecycle of electronic hardware, with attention to heat dissipation, signal integrity, structural rigidity, and assembly readiness.
CNC machining
High-precision aluminum housings, heat sinks, and structural frames with complex internal pockets and cooling fin geometries.
3-axis to 5-axis milling
Sheet metal fabrication
Cost-effective enclosures, chassis, brackets, and rack-mount panels from laser cutting through bending, hardware insertion, and welding.
Efficient for chassis and covers
Injection molding
Production-grade plastic housings, bezels, and connectors, with a controlled transition from bridge tooling to high-volume molds.
Designed for scale
Surface finishing
Anodizing, powder coating, plating, and chemical film to support corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, shielding, and appearance.
Performance-focused finishes
Process selection
Choose the route that fits your volume and performance needs
The right process balances tooling investment, unit economics, structural requirements, and thermal or EMI performance. Our team helps you select a practical route from prototype through production.
Discuss your application| Feature | CNC machined housing | Sheet metal enclosure | Injection molded plastic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Aluminum, copper, steel | Steel, aluminum, stainless | ABS, PC, nylon, PEEK |
| Tooling cost | Low; none required | Low | High |
| Unit cost | Moderate to high | Low to moderate | Very low at scale |
| Thermal performance | Excellent | Moderate | Low; requires heat sinks |
| EMI shielding | High with metal | High with metal | Requires coating or plating |
| Best for | Prototypes, high precision | Racks, chassis, covers | High-volume production |
Technical baseline
Specifications aligned to electronics assembly
These standard capabilities provide a starting point. Every project is reviewed against its assembly interfaces, thermal objectives, shielding requirements, and design intent.
| Specification | Standard capability | Electronics-specific notes |
|---|---|---|
| Typical materials | Al 6061/7075, copper, steel, ABS, PC | Thermal and conductivity optimization |
| Minimum wall thickness | 0.5 mm metal; 1.0 mm plastic | Depends on structural rigidity needs |
| Standard tolerances | ±0.05 mm to ±0.1 mm | Critical for press-fit connectors |
| Surface finish | Anodizing, powder coat, bead blast | Includes thermal-conductive coatings |
| EMI/RFI handling | Conductive plating, gaskets | Critical for signal integrity |
| Typical batch size | 1 to 5,000+ units | Scalable from prototype to production |
Engineering-led manufacturing
Resolve production risks before they become delays
Manufacturing should not begin until the design is ready for the shop floor. Our review process helps protect fit, function, cost, and production timing.
Risk identification
We flag warping risks, difficult thin walls, and tolerance stacks that could threaten assembly.
Material selection
We advise on grades that meet structural requirements while supporting thermal conductivity.
DFM feedback
We review CAD files to reduce cycle times and secondary operations, lowering per-unit costs.
Built for product progression
One manufacturing partner from prototype to repeat production
You do not need to switch vendors as your volume increases. Each stage is supported by documented quality processes and practical engineering feedback.

Frequently considered details
Plan your electronics manufacturing project
Which files should I submit for an RFQ? +
Send STEP, STP, DXF, or PDF files along with material, finish, quantity, and critical assembly requirements.
How do you support EMI and signal integrity requirements? +
Metal housings can provide high shielding performance, while plastic enclosures may use conductive plating or coatings. Gaskets and surface treatments can be reviewed as part of the design.
How quickly can I receive a quote? +
We typically provide a feasibility review and quote within 24–48 hours after receiving the required project information.
