Surface Finishing Services for Custom Enclosure

Improve the durability and appearance of your precision sheet metal fabrication with our surface finishing options. If you need something different, just choose “Other” and tell us what you’re looking for.

Sheet metal as machined

As Machined

As machined finish leaves the surface straight from the CNC machine, providing a cost-effective option with tool marks.

Anodized aluminum part

Anodizing

Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear properties, while allowing for color dyeing, ideal for aluminum parts.

Black oxide coating metal

Hard Anodizing

Hard anodizing increases surface hardness and wear resistance, while providing excellent corrosion protection, ideal for aluminum parts.

Alodine coating aluminum sheet

Alodine

Alodine coating provides corrosion protection and improves paint adhesion, mainly used on aluminum surfaces.

Sheet metal sand blasting

Sand Blasting

Sand blasting uses pressurized sand or other media to clean and texture the surface, creating a uniform, matte finish.

Metal polishing sheet metal

Polishing

Polishing achieves a high gloss finish, reducing surface roughness and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of metals.

Brushed finish stainless sheet

Brushed Finish

A brushed finish creates a unidirectional satin texture, reducing the visibility of marks and scratches on the surface.

Electroplating sheet metal parts

Electroplating

Electroplating bonds a thin metal layer onto parts, improving wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface conductivity.

Sheet metal powder coating

Powder Coating

Powder coating applies a thick, wear-resistant layer with excellent color and texture options, suitable for a variety of surfaces.

Electropolishing stainless sheet metal

Electropolish

Electropolish is a chemical process that smooths and brightens surfaces while improving corrosion resistance.

Tumbling sheet metal parts

Painting / Tumbling

Painting adds a protective coating and enhances appearance, with a wide range of color options for custom sheet metal parts.

Heat treatment metal

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment alters the mechanical properties of metal to increase its hardness, strength, or ductility.

FAQs

How do I choose the right enclosure manufacturing process?
The best process depends on your design complexity, material, and production volume. CNC machining is ideal for precision prototypes, sheet metal fabrication suits industrial enclosures, and injection molding or die casting works best for higher volumes.
What affects the cost of custom enclosure manufacturing?
Cost depends on material selection, enclosure size, structural complexity, surface finish, tolerance requirements, and production volume.
What is a custom enclosure manufacturing service?
Custom enclosure manufacturing is the process of producing electrical enclosures, industrial enclosures, or electronic housings based on your CAD design using CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, or die casting.
What materials are used for electrical enclosures?
Common materials include aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, ABS, polycarbonate, and fiberglass. The choice depends on strength, cost, corrosion resistance, and application requirements.
What is the difference between metal enclosures and plastic enclosures?
Metal enclosures (aluminum or steel) offer higher strength, EMI shielding, and durability, while plastic enclosures are lighter, more cost-effective, and suitable for consumer electronics and low-weight applications.
Can you manufacture NEMA-rated enclosures?
Yes. We provide custom NEMA enclosure manufacturing services, including NEMA 1, NEMA 3R, NEMA 4, and NEMA 6P enclosures for indoor, outdoor, and harsh environment applications.
What is the lead time for custom enclosures?
Lead time depends on complexity and process. CNC prototypes can be produced in days, while mass production varies based on tooling and volume.
Can you help with custom enclosure design?
Yes. Our engineers provide DFM review, including structural analysis, material selection, tolerance stack-up, sealing design, and cost optimization before production.
