01 Challenge & Solution

1. Project Background

Custom electrical enclosures require precise hole cutouts, louvers, and DIN-rail mounting studs tailored to each client’s industrial electrical schematics.

Engineering Workflow

  • Rules-Based Parameter Validation: Ingests electrical component lists and auto-computes optimal enclosure dimensions, thermal dissipation clearances, and bend radii.
  • CNC Flat Pattern Generation: Outputs nested DXF files with automated bend lines, tool punch annotations, and grain orientation markers.
