Production process of computer cases:
Design of computer case
The first step to manufacture a computer case is designing. There are several engineers to design a specific model of computer case according to a series of criteria including PSU position, size, mother board type drive bays numbers etc. The design of computer casealso determines what materials to be used for production and their specifications. Then a BOM (bill of materials) is made where specific types of materials and there quantity required for a pc caseis listed.
Prepare materials for PC cases
According to the BOM, the Production Management Control department informs purchasing department to purchase listed materials. The most material required to make a computer case is steel, usually cold rolled sheet (See picture below).

Cut steel boards according to size requirement of PC case
When the steel sheets are in place, they must be cut into required size in the cross-cutting workshop. Then the steel boards with required size are transferred to stamping workshop.
Strike into shape according to pc case specifications
On the stamping machine, the steel boards are struck between 2 pieces of molds with massive force. Going through this process, the steel boards would have logos and decorative marks on, and their edges are rolled up. Some boards are bored with holes for ventilation.
