Custom Chassis and Enclosure Design
Off-the-shelf solutions don’t always fit your unique application needs. At BVM, we offer bespoke chassis and enclosure design tailored to your system requirements.
Using advanced 3D CAD software (Solidworks Professional 2023), our in-house team designs enclosures that precisely house your system components – from motherboards and touch displays to cabling and peripherals. Whether you’re starting from scratch, refining a prototype, or working to a detailed spec, we help bring your concept to life.
Unlocking Innovation with CAD Design at BVM
BVM’s mechanical CAD team can take your product development further. Using Solidworks Professional 2023, we create initial concepts through to finalised designs engineered for performance, innovation, and production efficiency.
From complex assemblies to detailed components, our advanced CAD tools streamline the design process and help reduce time-to-market. With a powerful suite of integrated design, simulation, and documentation tools, we guide you from concept to production — faster and smarter.
🔧 Key benefits utilising our mechanical CAD design services :
- Advanced 3D Modelling: Smarter design through part libraries, intelligent mating, and interference checks.
- Photorealistic Rendering: High-quality 3D visuals to bring your product to life at every stage, from concept to final design.
- Integrated Electrical Design: Seamless collaboration with our electronics team to incorporate PCB layouts, wiring, and harnesses.
- BOM Automation & Configuration: Accurate, fast generation of bills of materials and configuration of product variants for diverse production needs.
- Design-to-Manufacture Integration: CAD linked directly with CAM and PDM systems to ensure a smooth transition into manufacturing.
Custom Chassis Design – Our Approach
Our approachable mechanical and electronics design teams work closely with you — or with any third party acting on your behalf — to deliver the best possible solution. We take an inclusive, collaborative approach, especially when it comes to your product enclosures.
Working to a Defined Specification
If you provide a detailed spec – including aesthetics, required I/O access, dimensions, weight, tactile feel, and durability – we’ll build your enclosure to meet those needs precisely.
Developing from an Existing Prototype
Already created a prototype? We can help you refine it, suggest improvements, and ensure it’s practical for scalable, repeatable production.
Starting from Scratch
If your project is still in the concept phase — just an idea or a rough sketch — we can help turn it into a fully developed, manufacturable product.

Custom Cooling Solutions
BVM’s bespoke design & manufacturing services not only take into consideration the physical features
and functionality of a product, but operational considerations as well.
BVM customers often require bespoke enclosure designs to suit the demanding environments their products operate in. This is especially true when the enclosure must be sealed against dust, water, or hazardous substances, requiring a certified ingress protection (IP) rating.
Systems may also face extreme temperatures — either from external conditions or internal heat. While low-power CPUs like Intel Atom or ARM help reduce heat, some applications demand higher-performance processors. These generate more heat, creating the challenge of managing thermal output while still:
- Retaining the level of ingress protection needed
- Keeping the CPU and all other electronic devices cool within the assembly.
- Retaining system performance and the maximum of ‘up-time

Custom Mounting Solutions
Custom Mounting Solutions
While it’s common to rely on the chassis for heat dissipation, BVM also offers custom mounting solutions — such as faceplates, backplates, or brackets — which can act as additional thermal pathways to help draw heat away from the system.
Shock and Vibration
For applications exposed to shock and vibration — such as those in road vehicles, trains, or aircraft — standard off-the-shelf components may not be suitable. In these cases, custom solutions are essential for durability and performance.
When designing a custom cooling assembly, we begin by reviewing the thermal and mechanical design guide for the intended CPU. These guides provide essential specs and may reveal unique footprint or mounting requirements that differ from what you’ve used previously. In many cases, CPU manufacturers also offer guidance on the most effective mounting methods.
BVM Products are Designed for Manufacture
Design for Manufacture (Design for Manufacturability or DFM) is the engineering process of designing products to ensure they’re efficient to manufacture.
Our design team plan a level of detail during both the initial concept and prototype phases – well before any level of product volume is reached. During the initial design processes, the design will be refined and honed along the way to make it suitable for repeatable production.
Our designs will always consider:
- Set up and tooling costs
- Volume production costs
- Maintenance costs
- Environmental effects
BVM’s Design for Manufacture processes will always allow every commercial (and technical) consideration to be identified within design phase, the most cost-effective place to catch & address everything.
Our industrial and embedded product design-to-order projects have included:
- Advanced PCI Express peripherals and expansion bridges.
- High specification PCI Express splitter devices to allow multiple devices to be driven from standard embedded motherboards
- Baseboards for Computer-on-Module processor boards, such as COM Express and Qseven implementing customers I/O & display requirements onto the baseboard and allowing processing to be handled by a standard module.
