Summary

THE DILEMMA:
The project calls for short runs or quick turn-around prototypes of a unique enclosure or plastic part. The choices are limited:
OFF-THE-SHELF ENCLOSURES?
+ readily available through major distributors
– costly in-house modifications to make them fit
– home-made look in a non-descript housing
CUSTOM SHEET METAL?
+ requires only minimal tooling
– limited design options for an often too heavy part
– requires clean-u and coating
INJECTION MOLDING/THERMOFORMING?
+ custom geometry & material
– high upfront cost & lead times for tooling
– cost prohibitive for short runs
RAPID PROTOTYPING?
+ quick turn-around & complex geometries
– limited choice of materials, high per unit cost
– not a viable production option
CLICKFOLD OFFERS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE:
Zero-Tooling Plastic Parts
+ quick turn-around & simple design changes
+ custom form factor at minimal upfront cost
+ economical for quantities under 10K per year
