Abstract [en]
This bachelor thesis, carried out in collaboration with Jelmtech Produktutveckling AB, aimed to develop a wall-mounted electronic enclosure that fulfills IPX7 classification requirements, user-friendliness, sustainability, and suitability for large-scale production. The development process included literature review, material selection using the Ashby method, CAD modeling in 3DEXPERIENCE, and prototype manufacturing through 3D printing. The final design is developed to be manufactured through injection molding of the material ASA with Molded-In-Place Gasket (MIPG) sealing application of the material TPE.
A simplified water test in 20 cm deep water demonstrated successful resistance to ingress, even without the use of snap-fit features, indicating promising design performance. However, the formal IPX7 immersion test failed due to deviations in material and manual sealing application, and the 3D printer’ s ability to print out the modular design fully, emphasizing the importance of correct manufacturing methods. Despite these limitations, the project is considered successful, and the developed solution shows strong potential for industrial implementation.
