Handheld Medical Device Enclosure Design
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I need a production-ready enclosure for a portable H₂S breathalyzer that will be used in clinical diagnostics. The unit has to look and feel like a genuine piece of medical equipment, withstand hospital cleaning routines, and be simple to service. For the first round of prototypes I will print in PLA on an in-house FDM machine, so the geometry must suit that process while already carrying the draft angles, wall thicknesses, and snap features we’ll need later for injection-molded ABS/PC-ABS.
Key considerations include:
• A sealing strategy that achieves at least IP-54 around the sensor head and electronics bay
• Smooth, wipe-friendly exterior surfaces with no dirt traps; compatibility with IPA and VHP disinfectants
• Two-piece shell with minimal screws for fast assembly and field servicing
• Space allocation for our existing PCB, electrochemical sensor, micro-pump, 2000 mAh Li-ion pack, USB-C, and a disposable mouthpiece port
Turnaround is ASAP—I’d like to review initial CAD within a few days and move quickly to a final DFM package.
Deliverables
• Native and STEP CAD files
• Exploded assembly that clearly shows seals, gaskets, and fastening approach
• 2-D drawing set with tolerances, surface finishes, and call-outs suitable for ISO 13485 documentation
• Brief DFM/DFS report outlining the path from PLA print to injection-molded tooling
When you reply, what matters most to me is your experience on comparable handheld medical or laboratory devices that successfully reached production, so please highlight that. SolidWorks, Creo, or Fusion 360 files are all acceptable.
