I have a new Furniture product concept that must transition from hand-sketch to a complete, manufacturable 3D model. The project is strictly product design for manufacturing, so every decision—from wall thickness to draft angles—has to respect real-world production constraints. You’ll start with my sketches, functional notes and target materials, then develop a clean parametric model in the CAD platform you know best (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Creo, NX—your choice as long as STEP export is flawless). I expect collaborative iteration: we’ll review geometry, address DFM tweaks, and lock dimensions before drawings are released. Deliverables • Native CAD files of all parts and assemblies • STEP and STL exports ready for CNC & injection moulding ...

I have a steady stream of steel components that need to be produced on an ongoing basis. The work covers the full range of general CNC operations—milling, turning, and drilling—so I’m looking for a machinist or small shop that can comfortably switch between those processes without missing a beat. Every part is made from steel, and dimensional accuracy is non-negotiable; tolerances are typically ±0.04 mm. You will receive engineering drawings and 3-D models for each batch, along with any surface-finish or post-processing notes. Because many of the parts end up in proprietary assemblies, I need absolute discretion and will require an NDA before sharing files. If you have reliable CNC equipment, experience machining steel, and the capacity for repeat runs, let&r...

A complete 3-D model of my continuous-run adhesive coater is the next step in moving this line from concept to the shop floor. The machine applies water-based adhesive onto polyester film, so every roller, tank, doctor blade, drive, guard and frame member must appear exactly as it will be built. I already sketched the system by hand and will share clear, dimensioned scans together with notes on materials, bearings and standard hardware. Using those sketches, I need you to create: • Individual SLDPRT files for every unique component • A fully constrained SLDASM that shows the machine in its operating position • Exploded configuration, so the maintenance team can visualise disassembly • Native SolidWorks feature trees (no dumb solids) to keep edits easy High-...
I already have a hand-sketched concept for a motorcycle helmet and now need it transformed into a fully realised, production-ready design. The brief covers every layer of development—styling, structural integrity, and the functional details that make a premium riding helmet comfortable and safe. Aesthetic refinement comes first: I want the sketch evolved into a sleek, modern shape that still respects the original lines. From there we move directly into structural design. The outer shell must be engineered for carbon fiber, so wall thickness, lay-up schedule, draft angles for the mold and overall manufacturability all need to be resolved. Inside, the EPS liner, comfort padding and fastening system must interface perfectly with the shell, matching common headform sizes and leaving spa...

I’m working on a head-mounted AR display and need a detachable mount that locks in firmly yet releases instantly when required. My preference is a plastic construction paired with a clip-based attachment, so the hardware stays light, unobtrusive, and wearable for long sessions. The critical requirements are: • Secure attachment that maintains precise optical alignment even under vibration, head movement, and frequent re-mounting • Quick one-hand release that never compromises user safety or comfort • Form factor slim enough to avoid adding noticeable bulk or weight to the headset • Materials and tolerances suitable for large-scale injection moulding, with clear guidance on prototype 3D-print iterations • Robust over thousands of detach/attach cycles ...
I need help turning the artwork now printed on my feather flag into a practical sun visor for the front windshield of a car. The shade must cover a standard-size windshield edge to edge, fold away easily, and carry the same bold visual impact as the flag I will provide. My priority is matching the existing design faithfully; secondary considerations such as extra UV blocking, heat reduction layers, or quick-mount hardware are welcome suggestions if they do not compromise the look. Here is what I need from you: • Print-ready artwork resized and prepared for the chosen manufacturing process • Manufacturing spec sheet that lists dimensions, material weight, stitching or binding notes, and folding mechanism • A mock-up image (car-interior view) to visualize fit before pro...
