When it comes to metal manufacturing, every type of machinery will have some limitations on the size, angles, curves and contours that can be achieved. CNC machining is no different. Beyond the size constraints of what CNC machinery can accommodate, another important consideration is corner radius. With CNC machining, it is generally not possible to achieve a perfectly sharp angle…
Every week, Team Protocase is bringing you a Proto Tech Tip video, where we’ll give an informative look at a particular aspect of sheet metal fabrication and CNC Machining. This week, Cody from our Engineering & Design Services team the three options we currently offer for bare-metal finishes. If you prefer to not opt for powdercoat paint for your custom enclosures or…
Here at Protocase, we can make just about any kind of sheet metal or CNC machined enclosure. Whatever you’re envisioning, we can build your design in 2-3 days (with no minimum order). From rackmounts to consolets, L-shape and everything in between, there are many enclosure styles that we offer, which can be customized to fit the requirements of each individual…
