Tips for Buying Hardware Startups
Enclosures & Chassis Parts

What hardware startups procurement teams should know before ordering enclosures & chassis components.

San Francisco hardware startups should order CNC-machined enclosure prototypes for investor demos — HAX and Bolt portfolio companies consistently report that machined aluminum prototypes outperform 3D prints in fundraising meetings.

ISO 9001

If you're crowdfunding hardware on Kickstarter or Indiegogo, invest in show-quality CNC prototypes with Type II anodize for your campaign photography — backers fund products that look production-ready, not prototypey.

UL

For smart-home hardware startups, specify UL 60950 or UL 62368 enclosure requirements on CNC prototype drawings — retail partners like Best Buy and Amazon require UL listing, and designing for it from prototype stage prevents costly redesigns.

CE Mark

Common Questions About
Enclosures & Chassis Machining

We machine aluminum 6061, 5052, and 7075, plus stainless 304 for special applications. Anodize and powder coat finishing available.
Yes. We machine enclosures with EMI gasket grooves, conductive surface finishes, and finger stock channels for RF shielding compliance.
We hold ±0.005" on general sheet features and ±0.001" on critical connector cutouts and PCB standoff locations.
Most enclosure prototypes ship in 3 to 5 business days. Bead-blasted and anodized finish adds 2 to 3 days.
