When you finish with a project and want some sort of enclosure for it, what do you guys do?
I often see people house them in altoid tins or wood boxes or something of that nature depending on the size or purpose of the product, but is there nothing custom that can be done? Something like creating a 3D model of something you want and having it produced by some company with a plastic mold machine?
If so, what are the software and companies that people like?

Project boxes are expensive. I have a big pile of them, because whenever I'm at a rummage sale or whatever, I will buy anything that looks like it might be good for a project. Once, I found a lot of small strudy aluminum boxes and purchased them immediately. Still haven't used them though. I guess buying something you may or may not use is expensive too, eh?
If you can get thin sheets of tin, the tools to work with them aren't very expensive, and with a little practice, you'll be able to make your own decent enclosures.
