/> Panels can be punched, drilled, multi-colour screen-printed, engraved, engraved with a coloured infill, fitted with polyester overlays, rebated to accept a flush-fitting membrane keypad and fitted with EMC gaskets. Conductive and non-conductive finishes, to both sides or just to the rear can be provided or the panels can be painted. Cutouts can be within 1mm from the panel edge without distortion by using laser machining or extend through the edge by using three-dimensional CNC machining, enabling rebates and apertures to be created. Both plastic and metal panels can be modified; plastic panels and enclosures can be moulded in custom colours. Specialist finishes can be applied to give EMC/RFI protection or anti-bacterial capability for use in medical instrumentation.
