Have custom enclosures and electronic parts made to order

Whether you are working on an electronic prototype, a smart sensor, or a completely unique product: a good enclosure makes the difference between an idea and something that works. You want your parts to fit, be protected, and be neatly presented. But you also don't want to be stuck with slow suppliers, expensive molds, or large batch sizes. That's where laser cutting comes into play.

At Laser Lokaal, we help engineers, makers, and product designers daily with laser cutting functional enclosures and parts for electronics. In this blog, you'll discover how to quickly and accurately have a custom-made enclosure cut – without a quote or waiting time.

Why laser cutting is ideal for enclosures

Laser cutting offers unparalleled precision: cutouts for buttons, connectors, or displays are cut with an accuracy of up to a tenth of a millimeter. This is crucial in electronics, where a shifted opening can already mean that a connection does not fit.

Moreover:

• You have complete design freedom (think of shape, dimensions, cutouts)

• The turnaround time is short – often you have your parts within a few days

• You can have small series or variants made without extra cost

• You get immediate insight into costs without needing to request a quote

The process is simple: you upload your design, choose the right material, see the price immediately, and place your order.

Suitable materials for electronics enclosures

The choice of material determines both the functionality and appearance of your enclosure.At Laser Lokaal, we work with various technical plastics and types of wood that are ideal for electronics:

PMMA

Transparent or colored, available in various finishes. Perfect for covers, view windows, or entire enclosures where visibility is desired. PMMA is also suitable for snap connections and lightweight components.

Plywood

For those who want a natural look or an enclosure that also adds aesthetic value. Easy to glue and process.

MDF

Smooth, uniform fiberboard. Easy to glue, stable, and cost-effective. Suitable for enclosures and test frames.

POM

Highly dimensionally stable, smooth, and mechanically strong. Ideal for front panels, load-bearing parts, or sliding components. Widely used in devices and test setups.

Biopanel & Fibernyl

For enclosures that need to be a bit more responsible, we also have sustainable plastics. This sheet material can also be used for sheets, connections, and enclosures in your project. 

Do you want to combine multiple materials in layers (for example, PET-G with foam, or MDF with rubber)? That's no problem – our laser system processes each with the same precision.

Common Applications

The applications are broad, from quick prototypes to functional end products.We see among others: front panels with cutouts for switches, screens, or connectors, enclosure panels for test setups or sensor housings, PCB mounts and holders made of plastic or wood, cover plates and base plates with ventilation openings or screw holes, custom click or slide enclosures made from multiple layers of material, inlays of foam rubber to securely fix components.

The ability to work iteratively (test something, adjust, reorder) makes laser cutting a favorite among developers.

Quick turnaround, even for small batches

Many customers of Het Laser Lokaal work on prototypes or small series. For that, you don't want to waste time on quotes, follow-up calls, or waiting for feedback. That's why we offer.

• No quote needed – instant pricing upon upload

• Fast delivery – often within a few business days

• Volume discount – if you need multiple pieces anyway

• Accessible threshold – even for a single panel or prototype

• Consistent quality – important when testing fit and assembly
