Custom CNC Machined
Housings

6CNC manufactures custom CNC machined housings for mechanical assemblies, electronics, and industrial equipment. We review internal cavities, thin walls, bores, and mating faces together so the manufacturing route reflects your assembly requirements.

Housings for Your Application

Each component is manufactured to your requirements. These examples help identify the geometry and interfaces to discuss with 6CNC.

01

Electronic & protective housings

Bodies with cavities, PCB or component mounting features, threaded holes, and defined cosmetic surfaces.

02

Automation & mechanical housings

Components that locate and support internal mechanisms through coordinated bores, pockets, and mating faces.

03

Industrial equipment casings

Custom housings with the specified material, surface protection, and interfaces for their operating environment.

Engineering review

Complex Cavities. Coordinated Assembly Fits.

Start with the features that determine fit, function, and acceptance. 6CNC reviews these requirements before confirming the manufacturing route.

01

Make the internal geometry accessible

Include cavity depth, internal radii, wall thickness, and any undercuts. 6CNC reviews tool reach and machining sequence.

02

Coordinate bores and mating faces

Identify assembly datums, bearing or component fits, hole position, and the features that must be inspected together.

03

Plan thin-wall and finish control

State the critical dimensions before and after treatment, surface requirements, and protected interfaces. Review deformation risks against the actual geometry.

Material and Finish, Planned Together

Specify the material

Choose the alloy or polymer grade against the operating conditions and approved design. 6CNC reviews the stock, cavity geometry, wall sections, and finishing route together.

Define the finished condition

Mark the visible faces and functional interfaces separately. Define masking at bores, threads, sealing surfaces, or contact areas and state which dimensions apply after finishing.

Inspection Follows the Features That Matter

Inspection focuses on cavity dimensions, bores, reference faces, mounting patterns, and interfaces between housing sections. Agree the accessible measurement features, reports, and final surface checks before release.

6CNC inspection laboratory with measuring equipment and machined components

01

Review the drawing

Confirm the material, geometry, critical features, quantity, and acceptance requirements.

02

Agree the route

Plan machining, workholding, any outside treatments, and inspection checkpoints.

03

Machine & finish

Produce the agreed drawing revision and coordinate the specified finishing sequence.

04

Inspect & prepare

Complete the agreed checks, documentation, and packaging for the order.

Before you enquire

Housings Machining FAQ

Can you machine deep pockets and thin walls?

Send the complete geometry and critical dimensions. Tool access, corner radii, material, wall thickness, and workholding determine feasibility.

How are matching housing halves controlled?

Provide both parts and the assembly drawing. Define locating features, mating faces, fasteners, and any sealing requirement in one coordinated datum scheme.

How does a housing differ from an enclosure?

This page emphasizes mechanical bodies, internal cavities, bores, and functional fits. For protective cases and cosmetic covers, see our enclosure page; 6CNC reviews overlapping designs together.
