Element14 does not customise their stock enclosures

Hello Friends,

I am new here.

I have shopped several times on Element14. I like their price tags and services.

For my current project, I am looking for a small plastic or aluminium enclosures. I have found 2 target enclosures made by Hammond listed on Element14. However, Element14 service person replied me that they did not customise my target enclosures.

Without customisation, stock enclosures may be of little values in large number production.

Do you agree on my opinion?

Element14 has to catch up with its competitors.

I`ve found that "DigiK" has partnership with BUD and Hammond. They provide custom enclosures to "DigiK"`s customers.

I will contact them for more details.

As to a small project, this kind of service is more cost effective.

I don't know where you are based but in the UK it's almost always cheaper to get a local machine shop to modify stock boxes until the numbers get quite big.

It also give a you a lot more flexibility - you can start with a few for prototypes and build up the numbers slowly - which is the way most projects work.

There are a lot of companies that specialise in (semi) custom enclosures for low volume, here's one:

There are lots more.
