# Thermal Optimized Enclosure for Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano
## Project Overview
This project showcases the advanced **CAD design** and **DFM optimization** of a robust housing for the **Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano** module—the preferred platform for edge AI and robotics. The primary design goal was ensuring maximum thermal dissipation and component protection without obstructing crucial I/O.
Leveraging my EEE background, this enclosure is engineered for optimal performance under load, making it ideal for industrial or high-demand commercial applications.
## Technical Requirements & Thermal Management
The design successfully integrates complex thermal and mounting features while maintaining clean lines suitable for **Injection Molding**:
- **Advanced Thermal Design:** Model includes dedicated mounting points and optimized airflow vents for both active (fan) and passive (heatsink) cooling solutions, crucial for maintaining Jetson performance.
- **Precision Port Integration:** All custom cutouts for peripheral connections (USB, HDMI, Ethernet) and internal header access are modeled with precise tolerances for secure, plug-and-play access.
- **Manufacturing Readiness (DFM):** The model features **2.0–2.5mm wall thickness**, screw bosses reinforced with ribs, and a **modular two-piece assembly** for easy installation and maintenance.
- **Mounting Options:** Includes integrated VESA/wall mounting points suitable for industrial deployment.
## Tools & Deliverables
This project demonstrates proficiency in designing for high-performance electronics manufacturing.
- **Primary CAD Software:** **SolidWorks** or **Fusion 360**
- **Visualization:** Photorealistic product renders from **KeyShot**.
- **Deliverables:**
- Fully assembled and detailed **CAD Assembly Model** (native files).
- **2D Manufacturing Drawings** specifying critical dimensions and internal component clearances.
- **STEP/IGES** files for rapid prototyping or tooling.
This enclosure is ready to be manufactured for high-performance edge computing applications.
