Sheet Metal Design and Prototyping
Your physical prototypes get made as soon as we're happy with the design, and together with you over a good espresso coffee in our Bayswater workshop, we inspect and scrutinise the finished product to your complete satisfaction. If somethings's not right, we make it right.
At Precision Electronic Enclosures, every successful product begins with thoughtful design, engineering expertise, and careful planning. Our team works closely with customers from the earliest concept stage through to prototype development and full-scale production, ensuring every sheet metal component meets the highest standards of quality, functionality, and manufacturing efficiency.
The company is led by Imran, owner of Precision Electronic Enclosures and a Mechanical Engineering professional with over 20 years of industry experience in manufacturing, product design, and precision engineering.
Working alongside Imran is Jacek, the previous director of Precision Electronic Enclosures, who now continues to support the business as an assistant designer/manager. After many years of building the company’s reputation for high-quality sheet metal fabrication, Jacek now shares his extensive knowledge and practical experience while gradually working towards retirement.
Together, their combined expertise ensures Precision Electronic Enclosures continues to deliver high-quality engineering solutions and reliable manufacturing services.
From Concept to CAD Design
Experienced designers like Imran and Jacek can start drafting new sheet metal components directly in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software such as SolidWorks. However, many projects begin in a much more practical way.
Often the design process starts at the workbench, surrounded by existing components, previous versions of the product, sketches, or even handmade mock-ups. This hands-on approach allows us to understand how a product works in real-world conditions before translating it into detailed digital designs.
Once the concept is clear, the design is developed in CAD software, allowing precise measurements, structural analysis, and preparation for efficient manufacturing.
Working with Your Designs
If you already have CAD drawings or design files, we are always happy to receive them. Many of our customers are engineers, designers, or product developers who provide digital files ready for production.
However, whether the design comes from you or is developed by our team, we carefully review it and suggest improvements where possible. With the combined experience of Imran and Jacek, we can often optimise designs for:
Greater strength and durability
Improved appearance and finish
Enhanced functionality
More efficient use of materials
Reduced manufacturing time and cost
By refining designs early in the process, we help ensure your product is efficient, reliable, and cost-effective to manufacture.
The final CAD design files always remain yours to keep.
Prototyping and Product Development
Once the design is finalised, we quickly produce a physical prototype of your sheet metal product. Prototypes allow both our team and our customers to see and test the product in real-world conditions.
Every prototype is carefully inspected and reviewed to ensure it meets your expectations. If something needs adjusting, we work closely with you to refine the design until the final result is exactly right.
Our philosophy is simple: if something isn’t right, we make it right.
Third-Party Testing and Certification
Some products require testing by independent laboratories before they can be released to market. These tests may evaluate factors such as:
Coating durability and surface finish
IP ratings for dust and water protection
Vibration and shock resistance
Environmental performance
When required, Precision Electronic Enclosures can manage the entire testing process, including delivering prototypes to testing facilities and retrieving them once testing is complete. We can also communicate directly with testing engineers if technical clarification is required.
From Prototype to Full Production
Once you are completely satisfied with the prototype and any testing requirements are complete, your product moves into full-scale manufacturing.
Using advanced CNC punching, press brake bending, deburring, and finishing equipment, we produce high-quality sheet metal components for a wide range of industries.
Engineering Expertise You Can Trust
With Imran’s 20+ years of mechanical engineering experience and the continued support of former owner and experienced designer Jacek, Precision Electronic Enclosures combines engineering knowledge, practical manufacturing expertise, and advanced technology.
From the first concept sketch through to final production, we work closely with our customers to turn ideas into finished products.
At Precision Electronic Enclosures, we help turn your design concepts into reliable, high-quality products — from beginning to end.

CNC Punching and Forming
Your new sheet metal product's CAD designs are converted into machine programs that drive our own little 'Lamborghini', the Trumpf TruPunch 2020 punching machine. This beast cuts the flattened shapes of your components-to-be into large sheets of steel of the desired thickness, and can even form shapes such as raised dimples and flanges into them.
At Precision Electronic Enclosures, every project begins with accurate design and precision manufacturing. Once your product’s CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings are completed, they are converted into specialised machine programs that control our advanced Trumpf TruPunch 2020 CNC punching machine.
This technology allows us to quickly and accurately cut complex sheet metal components from flat sheets of steel and other metals.
From CAD Design to Precision Manufacturing
The process starts with your product design created using professional CAD software. These digital drawings contain detailed information about the size, shape, hole locations, and features of every component.
Our system converts these CAD designs into CNC machine instructions, which guide the punching machine with extreme precision. The TruPunch 2020 then cuts the flattened shapes of your components from large sheets of metal in the required thickness.
This automated process ensures accurate, repeatable results, even for highly detailed parts.
What the TruPunch 2020 Can Do
The Trumpf TruPunch 2020 is a high-performance CNC punching machine capable of producing both simple and complex sheet metal components. In addition to cutting shapes and holes, the machine can also form certain features directly into the sheet metal during the punching process.
These features may include:
Precision holes and cut-outs
Complex shapes and patterns
Raised dimples
Formed flanges
Countersinks and embossing features
By forming these elements during punching, we can reduce additional manufacturing steps, which helps speed up production and maintain consistent quality.
Faster Production with Greater Accuracy
Modern CNC punching technology allows us to manufacture parts much faster and more accurately than traditional punch presses.
Benefits of CNC punching include:
High-speed production
Exceptional dimensional accuracy
Consistent repeatability
Reduced manufacturing time
Ability to create intricate designs
This means your project can move quickly from design to production while maintaining the high-quality finish expected from precision sheet metal fabrication.

Deburring and Linishing
Removing burrs (deburring or linishing) can be done manually but is fastest and most consistent when using automatic surface deburrers like our Timesaver Series 1200.
At Precision Electronic Enclosures, we specialise in high-quality sheet metal fabrication and finishing, including professional deburring and linishing services. These finishing processes are essential for producing smooth, safe, and professional metal components used in electronic enclosures, panels, brackets, and custom metal parts.
What is Deburring?
During the manufacturing process, machines such as laser cutters, punch presses, and CNC equipment cut and shape sheet metal with high precision. However, even the most advanced equipment can leave behind small rough edges called burrs.
Burrs are tiny pieces of raised metal that remain along cut edges or around holes in sheet metal. If not removed, they can cause several problems including:
Rough or sharp edges
Poor product appearance
Difficulty during assembly
Reduced paint or powder coating adhesion
Potential safety hazards when handling components
Deburring is the process of removing these sharp edges and metal fragments to create a clean and safe finish.
What is Linishing?
Linishing is a metal finishing process that uses abrasive belts or wheels to smooth and refine the surface of metal components. This process removes minor imperfections, improves the surface finish, and prepares the metal for additional treatments such as powder coating, painting, anodising, or welding.
Linishing helps achieve a uniform surface finish, giving products a professional and high-quality appearance.
Why Deburring and Linishing Are Important
For industries that rely on precision metal fabrication, including electronics, engineering, and manufacturing, proper finishing is critical.
Deburring and linishing provide several key benefits:
Smooth and safe edges for handling
Improved appearance of finished products
Better coating and paint adhesion
Consistent quality across all components
Reliable fit and assembly of parts
Without these finishing steps, even accurately cut components can appear unfinished or cause problems later in production.
Advanced Deburring Equipment
While deburring can be done manually using files or abrasive tools, this method can be time-consuming and inconsistent.
At Precision Electronic Enclosures, we use advanced automatic deburring equipment such as the Timesaver Series 1200. This industrial finishing system removes burrs quickly and efficiently while producing a consistent surface finish across all sheet metal parts.
Using automated machinery allows us to deliver:
Faster production times

Bending and Folding
As with punching, the bending process yields big speed and quality gains when using modern tooling and machines, and we use a Safan E-Brake 100 tonne and a Trumpf Trumabend 60 tonne press brake machine.
At Precision Electronic Enclosures, flat sheet metal parts are transformed into their final three-dimensional shapes using advanced CNC press brake bending technology. After components are cut on punch presses or laser machines, they move to the bending stage where they are formed into precise angles and structures required for electronic enclosures, panels, brackets, and custom fabricated parts.
What is CNC Press Brake Bending?
A press brake is a machine used to bend sheet metal into specific shapes and angles. It works by pressing the metal sheet between a punch and die to create accurate folds and bends.
Modern CNC (Computer Numeric Controlled) press brake machines use computer programming to control the bending process. This allows operators to achieve extremely accurate angles and repeatable results for both small and large production runs.
CNC technology ensures that each bend is performed with the same precision every time, which is essential for industries that require tight tolerances and consistent quality.
From Flat Sheet to Finished Form
Fresh off the punch press or laser cutting machine, sheet metal components start as flat parts. These parts are then carefully bent into their correct shapes using CNC press brake equipment.
This process transforms flat metal sheets into finished components such as:
Electronic enclosures
Control panels
Brackets and mounting plates
Cabinets and housings
Custom fabricated metal parts
Accurate bending is critical because even small variations in angles can affect how parts fit together during assembly.
Benefits of CNC Press Brake Technology
Using modern CNC bending machines provides several advantages:
Highly accurate bend angles
Consistent repeatability across production runs
Faster manufacturing times
Reduced manual handling and errors
High-quality finished components
These benefits help ensure that every part produced meets strict engineering and manufacturing standards.
Advanced Press Brake Equipment
To deliver precise and reliable bending results, Precision Electronic Enclosures operates modern press brake machinery including:
Safan E-Brake – 100 Tonne
A high-performance CNC press brake capable of handling heavier gauge materials and producing precise bends across larger components.
