Custom Electronics Enclosures & IoT Prototyping in Montreal.
3DRM Tech helps electronics companies, IoT developers, engineering teams and hardware startups design and manufacture custom PCB enclosures, sensor housings, controller boxes, mounting hardware, smart-device prototypes and low-volume mechanical components.
Your PCB may be finished. The enclosure still has to fit everything around it.
Electronics products depend on mechanical design just as much as electrical design. PCBs need mounting points, connectors need access, displays need alignment, sensors need exposure and batteries, antennas and cables must fit inside a limited package.
3DRM Tech can support the mechanical side of electronics development with CAD design, FDM, SLS and SLA 3D printing, CNC machining, 3D scanning, rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
This allows an enclosure to evolve with the electronics instead of committing to expensive production tooling while the board, connectors and product architecture are still changing.
Custom mechanical parts for IoT devices, sensors and electronic products.
From a first enclosure prototype to repeat mechanical components, the manufacturing process can change as the product matures.

Low-Volume Device Parts
Repeat housings and mechanical components for pilot builds and products that do not require mass-production quantities.
What is the best way to prototype a custom electronics enclosure?
For many products, 3D printing is the fastest starting point because the enclosure can be changed as the PCB and internal layout evolve. The final process depends on material, quantity and mechanical requirements.
Can you design an enclosure around my PCB?
Yes. CAD can be developed around board dimensions, mounting points, connectors, displays, batteries, switches, cable paths and other mechanical requirements.
Explore CAD Design →Can you 3D print a custom electronics enclosure?
Yes. FDM, SLS and SLA can all be useful for enclosure development, depending on geometry, material, finish, detail and intended use.
Explore 3D Printing →How do I prototype an IoT product before injection molding?
A common approach is to develop the enclosure in CAD, manufacture small quantities through 3D printing or CNC, test the assembled electronics and revise the design before considering production tooling.
Explore Rapid Prototyping →Can you manufacture low-volume enclosures without a mold?
Yes. Depending on design and material requirements, additive manufacturing or CNC machining can support small batches without requiring injection-molding tooling.
Explore Low-Volume Production →From PCB dimensions to assembled enclosure prototype.
Projects can begin from board CAD, STEP files, PCB dimensions, existing electronics, sketches or a product concept.
Review the Electronics
Identify PCB size, connectors, displays, controls, cables, batteries and mounting needs.
Create the Enclosure
Build the mechanical package around clearances, access, assembly and manufacturing.
Assemble & Test
Install the actual electronics and test fit, access, mounting and product usability.
Revise or Repeat
Update the enclosure and manufacture additional units when the design is validated.
Mechanical manufacturing support for electronics and connected products.
What should I send for a custom PCB or IoT enclosure?
Board CAD or STEP files are ideal, but dimensions, connector locations, drawings and even the physical electronics can help define the mechanical design.
