Mechanical
production
The mechanical housing defines the durability, aesthetics, and user experience of your product. From rugged aluminum chassis to medical-grade plastic enclosures, the chosen manufacturing process determines the final quality.
LM Projects acts as your single source for custom mechanical production in both plastic and metal. We guide you through the trade-offs between tooling costs, unit prices, and material properties, ensuring your mechanical components integrate flawlessly with your electronics or other systems.
Plastic production: From prototype to mass market
We manage the entire lifecycle of plastic manufacturing, seamlessly transitioning your project from soft tooling to high-cavity production molds.
Injection moulding
For mass production, injection moulding offers unmatched efficiency. Through our global network, we provide:
High-volume production: Cost-effective scaling from thousands to millions of units.
Complex geometries: Expert execution of overmolding, insert molding, and multi-shot processes.
Material freedom: We source the exact polymer required by your BOM.
Tooling economics
The mold (tooling) is often the largest initial investment in plastic production. We help optimize this cost by ensuring your tooling strategy is perfectly aligned with your project requirements.
Rather than relying on a fixed approach, we adapt and customize the tools to your specific needs, depending on factors such as:
Technical complexity: Matching the tool design to the specific intricacies and required tolerances of your component.
Production volume: Scaling the tooling solution to fit your expected output, whether you need a smaller pilot run or high-volume mass production.
Material: Accommodating the specific characteristics and requirements of your chosen polymer.
Metal production
We deliver a product ready for the end-user.
Accessory sourcing
Supplying standard power supplies, USB cables, and mounting hardware to complete the kit.
Documentation
Inserting multi-language user manuals, quick-start guides, and warranty cards.
Final packaging
Boxing the product in your custom-branded retail packaging, ready to ship directly to a distributor or end-user.

Precision & Strength
Metal production
We deliver robust metal components using various fabrication methods.
CNC machining
Subtractive manufacturing for exact metal components.
Ideal for
Low-to-medium volumes, complex geometries, and tight tolerances (e.g., heat sinks, custom brackets).
Materials
Aluminum, stainless steel, brass among others.
Die casting
We support die-casting to efficiently create complex shapes with high dimensional stability.
Ideal for
High-volume production of rugged housings, such as outdoor fixtures or industrial enclosures.
Sheet metal fabrication
Cutting, bending, and assembling of metal sheets into complex shapes.
Ideal for
Enclosures, chassis, and panels. We manage laser cutting, punching, and welding processes.
Optimized design
Design for manufacturing (DFM)
Sending a 3D CAD file directly to production can result in failure – walls may be too thin for molding, or internal corners too sharp for CNC milling.
We do not just manufacture; we optimize. Before any tool is cut, our engineering team reviews your designs for manufacturability, suggesting adjustments to:
- Reduce tooling costs: By simplifying mold actions.
- Improve quality: By eliminating sink marks or warping risks.
- Speed up production: By reducing cycle times.
We align sourcing and production
One-stop mechanical sourcing
Sourcing mechanical components usually requires coordinating a plastic molder, a CNC shop, and a sheet metal fabricator. LM Projects consolidates this workflow and makes sure everything is aligned.
- Integrated fit check: By handling both metal and plastic production, we ensure components fit together perfectly before shipping.
- Unified surface finishing: We manage all post-processing – including anodizing, powder coating, painting, and screen printing – ensuring consistent branding across different materials.
Integrated Assembly
Ready to integrate?
Mechanical parts rarely stand alone; they often house electronics and cables. Once your PCB is ready, our electronics manufacturing services can support the next stage of production. For a complete product, we can also assemble your mechanical and electronic parts into a finished unit through our box-build assembly service.
Stop juggling multiple suppliers for plastic and metal and start optimizing your mechanical production.
