The project calls for short runs or quick turn-around prototypes. The choices are limited:
Off-The-Shelf Enclosures + readily available through major distributors – costly in-house modifications to make them fit – a home-made look in a non-descript housing
Custom Sheet Metal + requires only minimal tooling – limited design options for an often unnecessarily heavy part – requires clean-u and coating
Injection Molding / Thermoforming + custom geometry and material – high upfront cost and lead times for tooling – cost prohibitive for short runs
Rapid Prototyping + quick turn-around and complex geometries – limited choice of materials, high per unit cost – not a viable production option
ClickFold offers a new & better alternative:
Zero-Tooling Plastic Parts + quick turn-around and simple design changes + a custom form factor at minimal upfront cost + economical for quantities under 10K per year
