Hello,
I am in the process of designing a small, wearable device. The circuit is designed and parts have been chosen to miniaturize overall size and weight. I am using Altium Designer, and I am about to begin the PCB design & layout phase.
While I do have PCB design experience, my problem is with enclosure design. Since this is a small, wearable product, I am convinced that a custom enclosure is necessary, but I do not know how to go about this process. Do I specify the mechanical requirements of the enclosure based on the PCB, or should the enclosure size, shape, screw holes, etc. be determined first and then the PCB designed around that?
With the above in mind, I would appreciate advice on the following:
* Best way to approach the above problem
* Companies I can pursue
* Consultants I can contact (what job titles typically fall under this category)
Thank you in advance,
Jon from J2SmartTech
