MECHANICAL DESIGN

Mechanical Design

Enclosure, structural, and mechanical engineering that protects electronics, manages heat, and holds up in the field — designed from day one to be manufacturable at scale.

Giving Electronics a Body That Survives the Real World

A product is more than its circuit board. Enclosures, brackets, housings, and structural elements determine how a device is handled, how it dissipates heat, how it withstands drops and vibration, and how it eventually gets assembled on a production line.

Innovoltic's mechanical design practice works alongside our electronics and firmware teams from the earliest concept stage, so mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing decisions are made together — not bolted on after the fact.

Mechanical Engineering Across the Product

Our mechanical capabilities cover the structural and physical layers required to protect, cool, and assemble reliable electronic products.

01

Enclosure & Housing Design

Design injection-molded, sheet-metal, and machined enclosures that protect electronics while reflecting product identity and use case.

02

Structural Engineering

Engineer brackets, chassis, and load-bearing structures with strength, stiffness, and durability validated through simulation.

03

Thermal Management

Plan heat sinks, airflow paths, vents, and material choices that keep electronics within safe operating temperatures.

04

Material & Finish Selection

Select plastics, metals, gaskets, and surface finishes based on environment, durability, cost, and manufacturing process.

05

Tolerance Stack-Up & Fit

Model tolerance chains across mating parts so assemblies fit correctly the first time, every time, on the production line.

06

Mechanical DFM

Prepare part geometry, draft angles, wall thickness, and fastening strategy for molding, machining, or sheet-metal production.

From Concept to Production-Ready Hardware

A structured mechanical development lifecycle keeps form, function, and manufacturability aligned as the design matures.

01

Discover & Define

Understand form factor requirements, environment, ergonomics, electronics footprint, and mechanical constraints.

02

Concept & Industrial Design

Explore form language, layout, and usability before committing to detailed geometry.

03

3D CAD & Simulation

Model detailed geometry and run structural, thermal, and fit simulations to catch issues before tooling.

04

Prototype & Validate

Build 3D-printed or machined prototypes and validate fit, function, durability, and thermal performance.

05

Prepare for Production

Finalize tooling-ready CAD, drawings, and documentation for molding, machining, or sheet-metal fabrication.

Designed to Perform, Built to Manufacture

Mechanical decisions are made with electronics integration and production reality in mind — not as a standalone exercise.

Durable, Field-Ready Enclosures

Housings engineered to withstand drops, vibration, ingress, and everyday handling.

Optimized Thermal Performance

Airflow, heat sinking, and material choices keep components within safe operating limits.

Manufacturable Mechanical Design

Geometry, tolerances, and materials chosen for repeatable, cost-effective production.

Seamless Hardware Integration

Mechanical structure designed to fit PCBs, connectors, and components with precision.

A Mechanical Partner That Understands Electronics

Our mechanical engineers work in step with hardware and firmware teams throughout development.

01

Mechanical-Electrical Integration

Enclosure and structure are designed together with the PCB, connectors, and thermal needs of the electronics inside.

02

Simulation-Driven Design

Structural, thermal, and fit simulations reduce physical iterations and catch issues before tooling begins.

03

Manufacturing-Aware Engineering

Draft angles, wall thickness, and tolerances are set with molding, machining, and assembly realities in mind.

04

End-to-End Ownership

We can support mechanical design from early concept sketches through tooling-ready production documentation.
