I’m building the KnowliBot educational robotics kit and need a compact sheet-metal enclosure that delivers real structural support to the electronics and drive modules inside. I already have the internal stack-up modeled and will share the exact overall dimensions at project start, so the design must stay strictly within those limits while still being easy to manufacture on a laser-cut / press-brake line. Here’s what I’m after: a fully detailed sheet-metal CAD package—flat patterns, folded 3-D assembly, and clear manufacturing drawings—optimised for small-batch production. The enclosure should include sensible bend radii, K-factors, PEM hardware callouts, and self-locating tabs or slots so end users can bolt everything together with basic tools. Weight and thermal management aren’t driving factors; stiffness, alignment accuracy, and hassle-free assembly are. Deliverables • Native CAD files (SolidWorks or Fusion 360) plus neutral STEP/IGES • DXF flat layouts with bend tables ready for laser cutting • Dimensioned drawings with hole tables, tolerances, and hardware specs • Simple exploded view or PDF guide showing the assembly order Acceptance criteria • All parts unfold without collision and respect the specified sheet gauge (initially 1.2 mm, adjustable later) • STEP files import cleanly into Onshape with no errors • Finished enclosure fits the provided dimensional envelope on first prototype If you’ve shipped sheet-metal products before, especially compact enclosures, I’d love to see a couple of reference images or drawings in your response.

Hi, At Vutuk Design and Media, we bring over 15 years of end-to-end mechanical design, sheet metal engineering, and visual media production. Our team turns enclosure concepts into manufacturing-ready sheet metal assemblies, complete with precise flat pattern geometry, structural verification, and high-quality 3D visual assets. We will develop your enclosure in SolidWorks using native sheet metal features, ensuring accurate K-factors, bend reliefs, and self-clinching hardware integration (such as PEM nuts and standoffs). We provide complete DXF flat patterns, 3D STEP models, production PDF drawings, and optional photorealistic 3D exploded animations for assembly documentation. To help us scope your enclosure requirements accurately: What material grade, sheet thickness, and target surface finish (e.g., powder coating, anodizing) are specified? Are there pre-selected internal components (PCBs, power supplies, connectors) that define internal mounting layout? What specific bend radius constraints or tooling parameters does your sheet metal fabricators follow? Will structural FEA or thermal flow CFD analysis be needed to verify load capacity or cooling airflow? We invite you to visit our profile and portfolio to review our past sheet metal engineering and CAD projects. Let's discuss your design needs! Best regards, Vutuk Design and Media
