Rack Mount with Enclosure

Rack Mount with Enclosure

What

  • Designed a rack-mount faceplate with an integrated electronics enclosure for standard 19-inch server and networking racks.
  • Developed a robust housing with a central aperture for a display or connector panel and internal bosses for PCB mounting.

How

  • Used parametric modelling to align the rack-ear slots and internal standoffs with standard industrial hardware.
  • Added a perimeter lip for a secure fit and cable management cut-outs for a tidy internal layout.

Results

  • Delivered a precise model ready for CNC machining and 3D printing that meets standard rack unit (U) dimensions.
  • Produced a design that protects the internal electronics and mounts in standard enterprise racks.
