Radio and network housings
Machined enclosure halves and covers with drawing-defined connector positions and sealing interfaces.
Industries
Custom manufacturing for Communication
CNC enclosures, mounting hardware and prototype parts for communications equipment, from early assembly checks to repeat batches.
Mechanical parts must fit the electronics, protect cable interfaces and support thermal management. AIHFABS reviews drawings for machined housings, brackets and prototype covers. RF performance and equipment approval remain part of the customer design and validation programme.
- Equipment housings
- Antenna mounting hardware
- Thermal interfaces
Plan the part around its operating conditions
Identify connector openings, sealing lands, heat-transfer surfaces and mounting datums. Specify outdoor exposure and whether coatings must leave electrical contact areas bare.
Parts and applications
Examples for quotation and engineering review.
Antenna mounting brackets
Custom supports and adapter plates for assembly trials and installation hardware.
Heat spreaders
Machined aluminum components with defined flatness and interface finish.
Assembly fixtures
Polymer or machined fixtures for connector alignment and repeatable assembly.
From prototype development to production support
Plan each stage around the part’s function, material and inspection requirements—from the first design review to a repeatable batch.
-
Share CAD and drawings
Send the model, revision, quantity and a drawing identifying critical dimensions and mating features.
-
Review material and process
Identify connector openings, sealing lands, heat-transfer surfaces and mounting datums. Specify outdoor exposure and whether coatings must leave electrical contact areas bare.
-
Confirm finishing and inspection
Identify connector datums, gasket grooves and contact faces. State whether dimensional reports or material documentation are required.
-
Review the first batch
Agree the sample checks and record drawing changes before ordering a repeat batch.
Manufacturing capabilities and material options
Match the process, material and finish to the part’s geometry and operating conditions. Share your requirements so the quotation can include the necessary secondary operations.
CNC machining
Machine enclosure pockets, mounting patterns and thermal contact features from specified stock.
Open this process
SLA resin printing
Check enclosure appearance and assembly space before committing to production tooling.
Open this processSLS / MJF nylon
Review housings, cable guides and assembly fixtures where nylon meets the operating requirements.
Open this processMaterial and finish selection
Choose materials for exposure, heat flow, weight and electrical contact requirements.
CNC metals
Review aluminum for housings and thermal components; specify corrosion treatment and masked contact areas.
3D printing polymers
Resin models help verify appearance; nylon can be reviewed for guides, covers and fixtures within its service limits.
Design, material and inspection considerations
Radio housings and connector interfaces
Enclosure pockets, connector cutouts and gasket grooves need a common datum scheme. Provide board envelopes, connector drawings and fixing positions so machining access, assembly clearance and cover alignment can be reviewed.
Thermal paths and electrical contact areas
Identify heat-transfer faces and the flatness or finish they require. Mark regions that must remain uncoated for electrical contact; coating and material choices need to be coordinated with the product’s thermal and shielding design.
Outdoor installation and qualification
Mounting hardware may see weather, vibration and galvanic contact with dissimilar metals. State corrosion treatment, sealing requirements and any required tests. Mechanical manufacture alone does not establish RF performance or an ingress-protection rating.

Communication manufacturing FAQ
Can you manufacture a housing for RF equipment?
We can review mechanical housings and brackets from your drawings. RF performance, shielding and product compliance require design-specific validation.
Can sealing features be included?
Provide the gasket geometry, finish and dimensional requirements. An enclosure is not assigned an ingress-protection rating solely because it has a gasket groove.
What helps a thermal-part quotation?
Specify material grade, contact areas, flatness, surface finish, quantity and the regions where coating must be excluded.
