Need enclosures that ensure heat dissipation, reliable component fixation, and real-world compliance without compromising functionality, production, or product requirements? That's exactly what we deliver at EnCata.
Ready-made enclosures offer standard shapes that may not match the product concept. In such cases, geometry gives the product its unique value and requires a custom solution.
In 99% of cases, dense component placement requires joint work on the enclosure and electronics, which inevitably leads to an enclosure redesign that must ensure correct positioning, reliable operation, and proper RF performance.
Devices with high heat generation require enclosure design that ensures proper heat dissipation and stable operation. If your device is new, the chances that you will find a standard enclosure with holes placed in the correct places are small.
Work that highlights the incredible technologies, solutions, and products EnCata developed
EnCata supported a startup as an engineering contractor, developing a smart beverage pourer for bars that meters each pour in real time, connects to POS and mobile apps, and enables NFC payments — from PoC to MVP. All IP belongs to the customer.

Designing an enclosure is not just about shape. It must impress your users, fit your COGS, protect electronics, manage heat, withstand real operating conditions and be ready for manufacturing.
We approach enclosure development as a structured engineering process.
We start by defining all key constraints, including IP requirements, thermal conditions, production targets, and the target market price.
At this stage, we develop the internal structure of the enclosure. This includes component placement, fixation strategy, and sealing approach, ensuring that all elements can work together without conflicts.
We develop the enclosure 3D model based on computer modeling, where the modeling type depends on the targeted parameters. The final design is aligned with the selected production technology from the start.
We verify thermal performance and mechanical behavior on a testing enclosure sample. This includes checking heat dissipation and ensuring the enclosure can withstand required conditions, including drop scenarios when needed.
We produce prototypes and test them in real conditions. This includes assembly validation, thermal testing under load, and practical checks that confirm the design works in actual use.
Our team is eager to discuss how we can assist you and answer any questions you may have. Don't hesitate to reach out!
We help companies design, engineer, and prototype physical systems under one roof. No need to coordinate with multiple teams. From research to working prototypes ready for validation and further development, we provide a smooth path to a market‑ready solution.
Competitive prices
Our prices are far lower than those of a typical US engineering firm.
Your IP stays yours
NDA by default. Full IP transfer.
We'll get a device to you regardless of where you are.
An enclosure must meet technical requirements, support usability, and align with production and cost constraints.
To achieve this, we focus on:
Your device often operates in unstable environments, requiring proper electronics mounting, and we provide it.
You see how material and manufacturing choices impact unit cost, so you can avoid expensive mistakes early.
For an enclosure that accommodates antennas, we recommend the optimal material mix to match your desired design.
Weight is a critical competitive advantage. We consider it when designing enclosure. If the enclosure alone isn't enough, we also reduce electronics weight.
A structured engineering process that ensures the enclosure works in real conditions and is ready for manufacturing.
We define how the enclosure must perform in real conditions, including thermal loads, protection level (IP and IK), and internal constraints.
We develop enclosure geometry, internal structure, and interfaces, aligned with manufacturing constraints and product requirements.
We produce prototypes and validate the design through real testing, including thermal performance and assembly verification.
We refine the enclosure based on test results and prepare it for manufacturing and further validation if required.
Deep domain understanding increases the success rate of your product.
A custom enclosure may seem like an unnecessary expense, especially if the device does not require complex geometry or materials.
In practice, it includes engineering calculations, validation, testing of first samples, and further refinement to ensure the product works as intended.
Electronics are tested inside the enclosure under maximum load.
Wiring, component placement, and accessibility are validated beyond CAD models.
3D-printed prototypes are tested as a worst-case scenario. Based on results, the design is refined.
From early concept validation to production-ready enclosure design. Prototypes that answer the right questions
Is it feasible? Is there enough space inside? Basic form and spatial validation prototype.
Does the enclosure provide the necessary UX/UI? Functional prototype with initial assembly validation.
Does the product meet all requirements? Prototype for engineering validation.
Is it efficient at scale? Production-ready enclosure for pilot manufacturing.
We share our approach to product development, engineering decisions, and real project experience. No marketing noise — just practical insights and structured thinking.
A streamlined, proven workflow that delivers exceptional results every time
