3-D CAD (Computer Aided Design):
Custom Electronics utilizes SolidWorks solid (3-D) modeling software.  The use of 3-D modeling software dramatically shortens the design cycle and reduces fabrication errors. Our engineers and designers are experts in 3-D mechanical design and welcome the opportunity to design your next product.  If you wish to supply an existing solid design to have quoted for production, please use .IGES, .STEP or native SolidWorks file formats. If you have other questions regarding our solid modeling capabilities or suitable file exchange formats please contact our sales department or visit our directory for a complete listing of our Sales Representatives.


3-Dimensional Printing Service – Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM):

Most design decisions are made up-front in the design process. Typically the first 10% of the product development process affects about 80% of the products total cost. These decisions are made during the initial or prototype concept stage of the development process.

Typically, designers and engineers rely on 3D CAD software at this stage. But significant challenges arise using only a computer screen or color printer output to communicate the true design details to management, marketing, vendors, customers, manufacturing employees, as well as others on the design team.

Functional 3D models enable the designer and all others on the design team to make better informed design decisions, resulting in fewer design changes, better product designs, lower production costs and lower product costs.

Historically, businesses that have relied on RP parts have either used expensive, time-consuming SLA service bureaus or have utilized high-end RP systems that require dedicated operators, modified site requirements and a long learning curve. Today, companies are turning to low cost 3D Printing services that deliver fast, quality, inexpensive parts, allowing the designer to iterate designs quickly, testing for form, fit and function.

  • Build Size: Maximum size 203 x 203 x 305 mm (8 x 8 x 12 inches)
  • Materials: ABS plastic in white, blue, yellow, black, red or green colors

Nothing communicates design ideas faster than a three-dimensional part or model. With Custom’s 3D FDM Modeling, you can bring your CAD files and design ideas to life. Test form, fit and function – and as many design iterations as you like – with functional, machinable, paintable ABS parts.

For quotes, please send .SLT files, generated from your 3-D CAD Software, to 3D@customelec.com.  If you require 3-Dimensional Solid Modeling, Custom can perform this service as well.  We can accept .PDF, .DXF, .DWG, and .AXP 2-D files.


Electrical and Environmental Testing:
CEI has continually increased its test capability to accommodate a wide variety of electrical and environmental test requirements.  Our highly skilled engineers welcome the opportunity to design and build new test circuits and fixtures to suit our customer’s needs. Don’t hesitate to contact our sales department if your application has special test requirements not listed below.

Large Scale Molded Epoxy Encapsulation: 
One of our unique strengths is the ability to mold specialized epoxy potting compounds and encapsulation materials into large scale and highly detailed shapes. With more than 120 years of combined experience, our mold engineers have developed some of the most complex molds imaginable. If you have a Bus Bar Assembly requiring dependable high voltage barriers or molded threaded inserts, this is the right technology. Please contact our sales department or visit our Sales Representative directory if you have questions concerning this unique process.


Silicone Potting:
Custom can also encapsulate Bus Bar Assemblies using silicone materials.  These materials have advantages over other forms of encapsulation in high temperature environments. Our research technicians and engineers work together to find the proper material for every job. Custom's vast knowledge of silicone potting materials and techniques will help ensure your product is of the highest quality.  For questions about our silicone potting capabilities, please contact our sales department or visit our directory for a complete listing of our Sales Representatives.


Ink Jet Marking

Ink Jet Marking:
Custom uses a computer-controlled Ink Jet Marking system to perform complex marking operations on components of all shapes and sizes. Our ink meets government requirements and is continually checked for acceptability. If you have an application that requires ink jet marking, please contact our sales department or visit our directory for a complete listing of our Sales Representatives.


Heli-coil Insertion:
As defined by ANSI J-STD-001, almost all of Custom's high voltage assemblies are categorized as Class 3 products (High Performance Electronic Products). Custom's assemblies and modules occasionally incorporate the use of Heli-coil inserts, which are made from diamond shaped cross-section wire are screwed into tapped holes to form nominal size internal threads. These types of inserts are installed by torquing through a diametrical tang that is notched for tang removal. Heli-coil inserts meet U. S. military standards (MS33537) and insertion tools meet U. S. government standards (A-A-59158). If you have questions about this type of advanced manufacturing process, please contact our sales department or visit our directory for a complete listing of our Sales Representatives.
