Initially, the company operated as a small, marketing-led business, importing and supplying data racks from China and sourcing additional racks through third-party manufacturers while managing customer coordination, installation, and after-sales support. Today, Cubicoan has transformed into one of Sri Lanka\u2019s most reliable manufacturers of server racks, network cabinets, and specialized enclosures built to meet the new realities of modern infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By bringing design, engineering and manufacturing fully in-house and anchoring the transition with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autodesk Fusion<\/a>, Cubicoan reduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/rapid-prototyping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prototyping<\/a> time by <strong>30-40%<\/strong> and shortened design-to-production lead times by nearly <strong>25%<\/strong>. More importantly, the move reshaped the company\u2019s identity from a coordination-driven operation into a genuinely engineering-first manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<?php\nfunction autodesk_fusion_cta_horizontal() {\n    ob_start();\n    ?>\n    <style>\n        .cta-section-horizontal {\n            background: #ddd; \/* Much lighter grey background *\/\n            padding: 12px; \/* Adjusted padding *\/\n            border-radius: 8px;\n            box-shadow: 0 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\n            color: #333; \/* Darker text color for better readability *\/\n            display: flex;\n            align-items: center;\n            justify-content: space-between;\n            max-width: 650px; \/* Width adjusted for a more compact look *\/\n            margin: 20px auto;\n            position: relative;\n            flex-wrap: nowrap; \/* Prevent wrapping *\/\n        }\n\n        .cta-section-horizontal img {\n            width: 60px; \/* Slightly larger logo *\/\n            height: auto; \/* Maintain aspect ratio *\/\n            margin-right: 12px; \/* Adjusted spacing *\/\n            background-color: #ddd; \/* Match the background color *\/\n            padding: 6px; \/* Adjusted padding *\/\n            border-radius: 8px; \/* Slightly rounding to match container *\/\n            box-shadow: 0 0 0 4px #ddd; \/* Blend with background *\/\n        }\n\n        .cta-text {\n            flex: 1;\n            margin-right: 12px; \/* Adjusted spacing *\/\n        }\n\n        .cta-title {\n            font-size: 18px; \/* Slightly larger title font size *\/\n            font-weight: bold; \/* Bold title *\/\n            color: #f9a825; \/* Orange color *\/\n            margin-bottom: 4px; \/* Reduced margin *\/\n        }\n\n        .cta-info {\n            display: none; \/* Hide description *\/\n        }\n\n        .cta-buttons {\n            display: flex;\n            gap: 8px; \/* Adjusted button spacing *\/\n            align-items: center;\n        }\n\n        .cta-button {\n            padding: 8px 12px; \/* Button padding *\/\n            font-size: 12px; \/* Smaller font size for buttons *\/\n            font-weight: bold;\n            text-transform: uppercase;\n            border-radius: 4px; \/* Slightly rounded corners *\/\n            border: 2px solid transparent;\n            cursor: pointer;\n            transition: all 0.3s ease;\n            display: inline-flex; \/* Use inline-flex to ensure proper alignment *\/\n            align-items: center; \/* Center align text vertically *\/\n            justify-content: center; \/* Center align text horizontally *\/\n            text-decoration: none !important; \/* Ensure no underlines with !important *\/\n            color: inherit; \/* Use the button's text color *\/\n        }\n\n        .cta-button.white-button {\n            background-color: #fff;\n            color: #333;\n            border: 2px solid #ddd;\n        }\n\n        .cta-button.white-button:hover {\n            background-color: #333;\n            color: #fff;\n            border: 2px solid #f9a825;\n        }\n\n        .cta-button.black-button {\n            background-color: #f9a825;\n            color: #fff;\n            border: 2px solid #f9a825;\n        }\n\n        .cta-button.black-button:hover {\n            background-color: #fff;\n            color: #f9a825;\n            border: 2px solid #fff;\n        }\n    <\/style>\n\n    <div class=\"cta-section-horizontal\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/autodesk-fusion-product-icon-400.png\" alt=\"Autodesk Fusion Logo\">\n        <div class=\"cta-text\">\n            <h1 class=\"cta-title\">Elevate your design and manufacturing processes with Autodesk Fusion<\/h1>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"cta-buttons\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/trial-intake-flow\" class=\"cta-button white-button\">Get a 30-Day Free Trial<\/a>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/extensions\" class=\"cta-button black-button\">See Plans and Pricing<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <?php\n    return ob_get_clean();\n}\nadd_shortcode('autodesk_fusion_cta_horizontal', 'autodesk_fusion_cta_horizontal');\n?>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFusion gave us everything: modeling, sheet metal, CAM, collaboration, and cloud access,\u201d says Thilina Tippalagama, Managing Director, Eng., Cubicoan. \u201cIt didn\u2019t add complexity. It removed it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"scaling-cubicoans-business\">Scaling Cubicoan&#8217;s business<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Cubicoan manufactures a wide range of ELV systems and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) enclosures, including server racks, network cabinets, outdoor cabinets, battery enclosures, and customised sheet-metal assemblies. These enclosures are used across Sri Lanka\u2019s data center, surveillance, and telecom industry. They manufacture for the country&#8217;s leading system integrators, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitesp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Millennium IT<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/vsisgroup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VSIS<\/a>, and DEMO.

When Thilina took over as a managing director in 2017, Cubicoan didn\u2019t even have a factory. It outsourced all manufacturing while handling customer coordination, installation, and after-sales. The model was functional, but it was slow and limiting for a business that wanted to innovate. This is what led to Cubicoan\u2019s first major transformation: the decision to bring manufacturing in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe work on a lot of R&amp;D-heavy projects,\u201d Thilina says. \u201cOur products can go through several iterations in a year. That speed simply isn\u2019t possible when you rely on outsourcing. And keeping our designs safe was equally important. We couldn&#8217;t risk IP exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"becoming-a-fullscale-manufacturer\"><strong>Becoming a full-scale manufacturer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In 2020, at the height of economic uncertainty, Cubicoan made a bold move. Rather than scale back, they doubled down. The company leased land and began building its own manufacturing plant. The initial shop floor had a very basic setup: a laser cutting system, two precision press brakes, clinch-nut tools, and a 3-axis milling machine after some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal was clear: Build Sri Lanka\u2019s most agile, R&amp;D-driven enclosure manufacturing ecosystem. One that could design, prototype, and produce with speed. Thilina\u2019s background as a low-voltage switchboard engineer helped shape this push. He understood exactly how damaging manual workflows, inaccurate unfolding, guesswork, and iteration delays could be in the sheet-metal environment. He also knew that traditional desktop CAD was too expensive, too rigid and too hardware-heavy for a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing an SME, we simply could not afford traditional CAD licensing,\u201d Thilina says. \u201cAnd the hardware load was impossible to justify. We needed flexibility, cloud sharing, and something that could help us scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"discovering-the-features-and-benefits-of-fusion\"><strong>Discovering the features and benefits of Fusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Fusion became part of Cubicoan almost by accident. Thilina downloaded the trial expecting a lightweight tool, something closer to a hobbyist platform than a serious manufacturing solution. But within days, Fusion began to challenge that assumption. What stood out immediately was how naturally it handled sheet metal bend allowances and rules. Unfolding behaved exactly as his engineering instincts expected. Where earlier tools required manual correction, Fusion delivered accurate, rule-driven flat patterns that made it easy to build reliable templates for the entire team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot_Cubicoan-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot_Cubicoan-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot_Cubicoan-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot_Cubicoan-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot_Cubicoan-1536x1019.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot_Cubicoan.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Practicality mattered just as much as accuracy. Fusion ran smoothly on modest hardware, removing the need for expensive workstations. Designs were saved automatically to the cloud, allowing Thilina to review work at the factory, continue on a laptop at home, or share models through a browser without installing any software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integrated CAM environment opened up milling possibilities without the cost or complexity of separate tools, and the learning curve proved short enough that engineers became comfortable in days rather than months. By early 2023, the decision was clear: every product at Cubicoan from server racks to chilled enclosures would be designed exclusively with Fusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<?php\nfunction autodesk_fusion_cta_horizontal() {\n    ob_start();\n    ?>\n    <style>\n        .cta-section-horizontal {\n            background: #ddd;

Many are thin-wall structures that must retain strength despite lightweight construction, while the outdoor cabinets are exposed to heat, moisture, salt spray, and occasional impact. Several designs require strict IP ratings, active cooling systems, and controlled airflow. On top of this, there is the increasing demand for modular, capable of being disassembled for transport and reassembled on site without compromising structural or environmental integrity. Every product from electronics, mounting points, and thermal components demand tight tolerances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before Fusion became their primary engineering platform, this complexity often translated into manual unfolding errors, mismatched prototypes, and delays caused by repeated exporting, file transfers, and rework. Designs were typically developed by modifying existing models, stretching or squeezing them, marking sheet metal, cutting and assembling parts, identifying issues, then repeating the cycle, making each iteration wasteful and time-consuming.

Its rule-driven sheet-metal environment removed unfolding inconsistencies, while cloud-based collaboration ensured engineers, fabrication teams and partners always worked from the same up-to-date model. What once took multiple rounds of verification became a predictable, reliable workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrototyping time is reduced by 30-40% percent,\u201d Thilina says. \u201cOur overall workflows are cut nearly in half.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"delivering-success-for-the-colombo-west-terminal-enclosure-project\"><strong>Delivering success for the Colombo West Terminal Enclosure Project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>One of Cubicoan\u2019s defining projects was the development of a self-contained outdoor enclosure for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cwit.lk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colombo West Terminal CCT<\/a>V upgrade. The design required a specialised <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thermoelectric_heat_pump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peltier<\/a> chiller, corrosion resistance, impact protection and airtight internal cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge was steep. The chiller manufacturer provided no CAD data. There was no standard reference, no drawings, and no easy way to model the system. Cubicoan\u2019s team reverse-engineered the chiller using caliper measurements and recreated it from scratch in Fusion. Once the digital model was built, the enclosure was designed around it with tight accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we had followed the same process going with a template for this chiller project, we would have wasted weeks,\u201d Thilina explains. \u201cInstead, we tested fits, seal lines and mounting points digitally. Fusion made the entire enclosure behave like the real thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project required structural integrity and airflow pathing both were validated using Fusion\u2019s modeling tools. The enclosure was delivered on schedule with zero prototype failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cFusion changed how we design and build.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><cite> &#8211; Thilina Tippalagama, Managing Director, Eng., Cubicoan<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"keeping-fusion-at-the-center-of-cubicoans-manufacturing-evolution\"><strong>Keeping Fusion at the center of Cubicoan\u2019s manufacturing evolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>As Cubicoan continues to expand its engineering and manufacturing capabilities, Fusion will remain a key growth enabler.
