FAQ Database

ElectroniCase is a brand of LTP. It is a range of pre – designed enclosures, which can be configured as per your specifications. The range ElectroniCase is based on the LTP technology, which has been invented for this purpose: designing and manufacturing customised enclosure WITHOUT ANY TOOLING costs. Once you have chosen the right model within the ElectroniCase range, you can configure it entirely as per your needs (dimensions, milling, finishing, internal fixtures, etc.); Like this a « standard » model becomes unique and entirely customised.

Our product designs have been worked out to keep production costs at lowest. Furthermore, we are present in over 7 countries via this webpage, accessible to anybody, which means, that with this positioning, we are currently faced to permanent competition.

Because you have in just 1 step a totally customised enclosure, no need to rework, which is still very economic, quick and simple.

No, with ElectroniCase, you will receive an enclosure ready to be used and entirely finalized. There will be no need to re-mill or embellish.

•   The wholes and cut outs are already integrated
•   The fixtures are positionned
•   The marking and finishing has been done

1 single supplier for your enclosure

During the product design, we will adapt ourselves to your PCB, your components and their implementation: You will not have to rework or adapt your electronic elements. Before starting the production of the prototype, our team can send you a 3D to validate the drawing. You can also send us your parts. The prototype will allow you to check the mounting of your components in the enclosure.

Yes, this is a juxtaposition of two words in the form of an oxymoron. De facto, those 2 words cover the reality: We start with a standard model, for which the product design exists. This model is then configured, adapted to your dimensions and finishing becoming after this work “customised”.

Standard concerns the product designs. We have worked out various product designs, that cover the most current utilisation needs. You must choose amongst those models.

Standard stands for the product design; Customised stands for the rest: the dimensions, the cut outs, the fixtures, the marking and the paint.

Only the model type (production design / shape) will be defined. It is up to you, to make your choice within a large database of “standard” ElectroniCase models. After this point the enclosure becomes “customised”, as you define your dimensions, your cut outs, your internal fixtures, your marking (logo/instructions) and your painting (optional).

The price depends on the project and requested finishing. The price is situated approximately between 195€ and 800€.

Our technology is adapted to small and medium size serial production runs and efficient from ten to thousands of parts. The drop over point to the injection moulding technology, depends on the type of the product and the anticipation of the product stabilization without any modifications.

If your enclosure faces a market with big series of several thousands of parts, our LTP-Multitechnology-Team, specialised in sub-contracting will take over and propose a transfer to the adapted technology at that point in time (most probably injection).

Our technology for small and medium size production runs is efficient from a dozen up to several thousand. The breaking point with the injection technology depends upon the type of the product and the anticipation of the product stability without modification.

Yes the prototype is compulsory to validate the product design. It is also the contractual reference for the serial production.

The product design of an enclosure or housing, will be materialised via 2 steps:

•   A technical 3D drawing
•   A complete prototype, including all requested finishing specifications (print, varnish)

The choice of the product design, depends upon the mounting method of your components and the use.

No, all cut outs and milling steps will be defined during conception of the enclosure and executed during the production run. You will receive an enclosure, ready to be used.

No, within the EC production range, they are not watertight. They can however be adapted by the LTP service, in creating a entirely personalized enclosure. Our team will suggest the most adapted solution. Please note, however, that LTP does supply an official certificate.

This depends on the chosen model. For the EC10-100-0 it is possible, as the enclosure is made of two mechanically separate parts.

Our team will advise you.

The costs of the varnish and/or the paint depend upon the size and the shape of the enclosure. They must be calculated for each project. On average, one can expect a flat rate of 75€ for a prototype and approximately 10% of the enclosure serial price for 100 pieces.

Yes, any print or marking is made on site with our digital printer, which allows a wide range of possibilities, including four-colour printing.

Yes, our digital printer allows all kind of marking, including four-colour printing.

The raw material is either white or black. With the paint option all tones and finishings are possible. Our team will assist you in making the right choice.

Yes, all tones and finishings among the RAL or Pantone range are available.

Yes of course. It has been our job for over 30 years. We can offer you to design and produce a customized enclosure without any mould, based on plastic sheets, via our in-house owned technology: « Tôlerie Plastique ». The technology « Tôlerie Plastique » has been invented with this goal: Designing and producing customized plastic enclosures and housings WITHOUT any mould for small and medium size production runs.

It is the most performing technology for small and medium production runs. The final quality is close to the injection one.

As this technology does not request any specific mould nor tooling, evolutions are possible before any serial production, through the modification of the programmes.

The technology « Tôlerie Plastique » has been invented in 1985 by the founder of the company LTP. Since than it is a proven technology and we manufacture over 200 000 enclosures every year.

We break down the volume of the enclosure or the housing into elementary parts, which are than milled flat in plastic sheets. Some are formed on our bending machines, finalized in our production – still without any mould -, and then assembled via different gluing methods or chemical welding.

The technology « Tôlerie Plastique » is the most efficient for small and medium size production runs and allows to test a market. We design and produce your enclosure without any mould. Without any investment costs, you will receive a prototype ready to be used, entirely personalized with the possibility of evolution between each serial production. A perfect solution to test and than adapt your device.

In case you plan entering a market with big serial productions, we will suggest to test via 3D printing, with a shape, that can be transferred to injection. That means we offer injection serial production for series with high quantities.                                                                                                                       

Each prospect and customer is assigned to an experienced technical sales person. This person will see your project through from the beginning to the end, will bring answers to your questions and advise, for the most adapted solution

After approval of the quote generated by the technical sales person, each project is assigned to a technician of our construction office. Who will be in contact with you during the entire process of your product design.

For administrative questions (order processing, order confirmation, shipping date, payment, transport etc.) our English-speaking Customer Service is at your disposal.

Our company has certified all processes – product design and production -  under the Norm ISO 9001. If a quality issue is detected, our after sales service will handle the claim until the issue will have been entirely solved.

No mould nor tooling: We will adapt the milling programmes and the assembly procedure. The possibility of modification is one of the main added values of our technology.

Controls have been integrated into each step of the process, from the quotation to the shipment. All processes are certified ISO 9001.

Each operation technical sales, administration, product design and manufacturing are included into our ISO 9001 certification. The certificate is available on our webpage: Process

The « Tôlerie Plastique » is the most adapted and the most economical solution for small and medium size serial productions.

Yes the production quantity is 1 – 5 for a prototype production run.

Our technologies for small and medium size production runs are efficient from a dozen to several thousands of parts. The tipping point towards the injection technology depends on the type of project and the anticipation of the product stability without any modification.

Once this point will have been reached, and it becomes more cost-effective to change to another technology, LTP will suggest the transfer to the most adapted technology at that moment in time (most probably injection), via our division: « LTP-Multitechnology ».

If your enclosure meets a market of big series with thousands of parts, our subcontracting division « LTP-Multitechnology » will take the responsibility to suggest a transfer towards the most adapted solution at the moment (most probably injection).

Without the need to produce a mould the lead-time to receive a prototype within the technology « Tôlerie Plastique » is very short. This will allow you to choose afterwards the most adapted technology based on your needs. Within the offer of our subcontracting team « LTP-Multitechnology » we will be able to propose other solutions.

Starting with plastic sheets of different thicknesses, we mill elementary parts. Those parts are afterwards put in shape through standard production methods (no mould), before being assembled.

For the assembly, we use a solvent, producing a cold welding effect. In the inside of the enclosure we position fixing part such as: standoffs, spacer rings, plots, inserts and rails. The assembled enclosure is like this ready for the final finishing step: painting, marking and clear varnish.

All those operations or production steps are carried out in our production plant on site.

Yes a prototype is compulsory to validate the product design. It also serves as reference for serial productions.

Your enclosure will be shipped « ready to be used ». Its final look will be close to the one to injection. The main difference will be the existence of connection lines, which have chamfers and visually aesthetic. A photo gallery of enclosure examples is available on our web page: Gallery

The choice is based on mechanical and aesthetic needs, on technical limitations and forecasted quantities on your market. They will be presented to you for discussion and validation.

Our teams will reply more precisely to your questions with regards towards the application environment of your device. We are the specialist for the « Tôlerie Plastique », but via our offer « LTP-Multitechnology », we can propose alternatives. Our objective is to suggest an adapted solution.

LTP was found in 1985 and for over 30 years, we have remained in this market: designing plastic enclosures and housings for electronic devices. The LTP teams have designed and manufactures, over 12 000 new products for all kind of application sectors: Health & Beauty (medical, laboratory, paramedical, cosmetic), Tertiary (detection and security, office, professional IT) and Industry (continued and discontinued processes, general electronics, control and mesurement). For this reason, we are familiar with almost all the difficulties and needs linked to all kind of environments. Our teams will provide you with advice and the most adapted solutions.

• Less weight: easier handling and less transport costs
• Plastic can be worked/milled in its thickness for better aesthetics: round edges, decorating groves, chamfer
• Better adequation of the raw material to the application environment: Health & Beauty and Tertiary for example.

The usage of metal is necessary for the following applications:

• Public areas without any surveillance (vandalism)
• Exposition to extreme weather conditions
• Specific needs for reinforced mechanical robustness

The current raw materials are: ABS, PS choc, polycarbonate and PMMA.

For specific mechanical resistance, we use polycarbonate.

For specific chemical resistance, we use PVC.

Windows are made of PMMA or transparent polycarbonate.

Yes we do have flame retardant raw material classified ULV0, to meet this need.

We need no more, than the elements that you have in your possession, no matter their nature: From a detailed, complete technical drawing to physical components in a box – in this case we take over the implantation. In between those extremes any option is possible.

This is also suitable for us. Just send us the documents in your possession and we will use them in the most adapted way.

We need no more, than the elements that you have in your possession, no matter their nature: From a detailed, complete technical drawing to physical components in a box – in this case we take over the implantation. In between those extremes any option is possible.

We work with the latest version of SolidWorks; we can read and work with almost all extensions: STEP, IGES, STL, DWG, DXF, ….

Our team will send you any documents for validation or viewing in a PDF 3D format. For this format, you do not need any specific software. This format is 100% compatible with all IT systems (Microsoft, MAC etc).

In certain cases, we can combine the technologies below:

• Internal metal structure
• Metal parts or parts produced through 3D printing
• Parts produced through thermal forming
• Parts produced through injection

Our LTP-Multitechnology Team has chosen a range of suppliers; we take over the dialogue and the following up from the « product design » all the way to the « goods in control » upon reception.

The cost of the varnish and/or the paint depends on the size and the shape of your enclosure. It must be calculated for each project. On average, you can budget a 75€ flat charge for the prototype and approximately 10% of the price per enclosure for a serial production quantity of 100 pieces.

We have inhouse digital printers and mark all our enclosures with this technology. It opens a large range of possibilities such as four-colour printing.

For certain large serial production runs, we do have the equipment to work with screen- or tampon print.

We furthermore offer labels, domes, marked tailor-made polycarbonate (lexan) and engraving.

Marking an enclosure has 2 main goals:

• Functional:
  • To indicate a function or an instruction
  • To identify a product
  • To inform about a norm or a specific precaution

• Aesthetics:
  • To decorate and to embellish
  • To suggest images of the usage or how to put the device into operation

Yes we have all kind of finishing and shades.

Mono or bi-component paint

Standard or extra robust clear varnish

All RAL shades (or the corresponding pantone) mixed and created in our paint shop

Finish types available: Glossy, satin and mat finish

EMI means « electro-magnetic-influence ». It is the electromagnetic compatibility of a device, without causing electromagnetic interference to its environment.

Yes, we can fully or partly apply a conductive cupper paint.

As our enclosures are only a part of the device or of a whole system, it is up to the final customer to test and certify the product. LTP does not provide any certificate. Depending on the suppliers, documents such as Safety Data Sheets and AE certifications are available upon request.

The study of how to implant the components is part of the product design and will be materialised through the "prototype". We anticipate all kind of solutions to allow easy mounting : Gooves for the PCB (printed circuit board), standoffs, inserts, blocs with inserts etc.
