How It Works
It should be easy and simple to create the custom parts and enclosures you need for your projects or prototyping. Protocase Designer’s tools and features lets you create what you need without having to start from scratch, all while staying within manufacturing capabilities and providing real-time pricing.


Who Should Use Protocase Designer?

Even the most innovative and forward-thinking companies can struggle with having simple electronics projects become bottlenecked by requiring mechanical engineering time. Often, the part or enclosure that the electrical engineer requires is relatively simple, but they lack the expertise with complicated CAD software to build it quickly and accurately.
Protocase Designer enables electrical engineers, test lab engineers, even production employees to easily design enclosures, panels and parts to their specifications. Real-time price quoting and simple online ordering means there is no downtime or lag, with parts manufactured in 2-3 days.

Whether you’re looking to break into the market with a technological innovation, or serve your clients quickly and efficiently, you don’t have time or money to waste on learning complicated CAD software that will cost you thousands in licensing fees.
Protocase Designer allows small or even one-person operations to quickly and easily design custom parts, enclosures and panels for the electronics you’re developing. Real-time price quoting will help you stay on budget, and we’ll build your parts in 2-3 days when you’re ready to order.
Learn As You Go
Protocase Designer has been developed to enable you to simply create complex designs. With a large library of video tutorials, written guides and free support, you will never be left on your own while learning.
Designing Custom Parts and Enclosures Should Be Easy
What Our Customers Say
-
"As an experimental physicist, I'm not an expert on electronics or fabrication. I really like the Protocase Designer software because it's very easy to use."
- Kenneth Libbrecht
Caltech -
"We originally started designing the dock system using Solidworks CAD software. Once we realized the abilities of the Protocase Designer software, we switched entirely to designing these pieces in Protocase Designer."
- Michael Spinelli
StrongArm Technologies -
"From the start, your software was easy to pick up and learn (being that I work with Creo on a daily basis, it wasn't difficult), to the ordering process - it all went smoothly."
- Brian F. Massey
