Many electronic assemblies require standoffs—raised supports that lift circuit boards or components off the enclosure surface—to provide clearance, ensure proper airflow, and accommodate fastening hardware. These standoffs often include inserts or threaded features to securely attach the board in place.

Using 3D printing to produce standoffs offers significant advantages. It allows rapid manufacturing of custom-designed standoffs tailored to your exact specifications, including precise dimensions, integrated inserts, and complex geometries that might be difficult or costly with traditional machining. This speed and flexibility help keep your production lines running smoothly by minimizing machine downtime and reducing lead times.

Whether you need small quantities for prototyping or larger runs to support full-scale assembly, 3D printing enables cost-effective, high-volume production of standoffs, ensuring your boards are properly supported and securely fastened throughout the manufacturing process.

3D printed EMI shields provide effective signal suppression comparable to traditional copper and nickel coatings but at a significantly lower cost. By leveraging advanced 3D printing technologies, these shields can be precisely tailored to fit the unique shapes and sizes of your specific components. This custom fit allows selective shielding of sensitive parts without adding unnecessary bulk or weight.

Unlike conventional shielding methods that often require costly tooling, setup, and minimum order quantities, 3D printed shields can be produced quickly and cost-effectively—even in small batches or for one-off prototypes. This flexibility not only reduces lead times but also makes it easier to iterate designs and optimize shielding performance without incurring large upfront expenses.

Overall, 3D printed EMI shields offer a versatile and economical solution for protecting your electronics from electromagnetic interference, especially when traditional shielding methods prove too costly or inflexible.

Similar to our plastic sheet manufacturing we offer the ability to create unique 3D printed parts to order, and opportunity to adjust parts on the fly and even mid production. 3D printing is just as durable and resistant as plastic sheets, parts can be integrated to match the texture consistency of machined parts as well to provide a more seamless look. Many polymers are available with a wide range of colors to select from if needed as well.
