Design and development of a housing system integrating a metal additively manufactured cold plate for a set of depth cameras used in an AI-based precision agriculture platform. The system is intended for real-time plant monitoring, combining computer vision and edge computing to analyse crop conditions and enable variable-rate application of agricultural inputs.

The part incorporates an MJF housing providing structural protection and environmental sealing for field operation, while the SLM integrated aluminium cold plate ensures efficient thermal management of onboard electronics under continuous high computational loads. In addition, the cold plate acts as the main structural element of the system, serving as the fixation interface for the complete camera assembly.
