Blender 3D Animator for Injection Molding Process Simulation

We are looking for a Blender 3D animator who can create a realistic animation of an industrial plastic injection molding process. The goal is to visually demonstrate how an injection molding machine operates, including the movement of machine components and the flow of molten plastic through the manufacturing process. **Requirements** * Strong experience with Blender 3D * Experience creating industrial, manufacturing, mechanical, or engineering animations * Ability to animate machinery and moving mechanical assemblies * Experience working from CAD files (STEP, STP, STL, SolidWorks, etc.) is preferred * Ability to create realistic product and manufacturing visualizations **Highly Preferred** * Previous work involving injection molding equipment * Plastic manufacturing process animations * Factory or industrial process simulations * Mechanical engineering visualization projects **To Apply** Please provide: 1. Links to your best Blender animation portfolio. 2. Examples of industrial, manufacturing, machinery, or CAD-based animations. 3. Any examples related to injection molding, plastics manufacturing, assembly processes, or factory equipment. 4. Your hourly rate. 5. Estimated availability. **Important** Applications without relevant portfolio examples will not be considered. Please include the word "MOLDING" in the first line of your proposal so we know you have read the entire posting.
