Industrial Designer / CAD Modeler for Fixed-Wing UAV Concept Prototype
Worldwide
I’m developing a fixed-wing UAV concept prototype and need help refining it into a convincing 3D CAD model for presentation, visualization and physical model development. The concept is already defined: I have the operational scenario, proportions, physical mockups, docking logic, reference images and design direction. I am not looking for someone to invent a new drone from scratch. I need help resolving the form and making the object feel believable, manufacturable and presentation-ready. Main tasks: * Refine the UAV body, wing integration and overall proportions * Resolve the short Y-shaped docking tail and triangular docking interface * Design believable motor/propeller placement and nacelles * Integrate camera/sensor housing * Add assembly seams, access panels and product details * Suggest internal packaging logic for battery, electronics, sensors and wiring * Define basic manufacturing logic: 3D printed parts, foam/composite parts, purchased hardware, etc. * Prepare a clean CAD model suitable for renders and physical model development The current target wingspan is around 1.8m. The design direction is functional, restrained and product-like — not a generic sci-fi drone. I would like to begin with a short consultation or small paid test focused on the central body, wing connection and docking tail before continuing to the full model.
