Looking to hire a CAD Designer to work on a small custom tool/product. The work includes some design touch-up on existing CAD drawing which I already have, translating the provided 2D drawings into an accurate 3D representation and preparing the final model for production use. This is a small, short-term project for someone who can work efficiently and deliver a clean, production-ready model. Work would be a maximum of 10 hours most likely

I would like to discuss a model I have in mind. I am looking for experienced individuals that can complete 1-3 months. It is pretty simple design. Would be awesome if you're experienced in all 3 skills. Looking forward! Let's talk more about this! Sidenote: Looking for someone that is independent. I do not want to hear about how your company can take all my money. If that was the case, I would get ripped off with any of these expensive startup businesses.

Looking for someone to help a marine construction company create renderings for clients for projects. Ideally, this person is entry/intermediate level on being able to take pictures of the client's property and architectural 2D plans, and make a simple rendering from (3) perspectives to attach with the architectural plans and the contract. We provide the photos and schematic, just need someone with the technology skills to make it look lovely/real renderings. This would be pay-per-drawing, would need under a week turn around on each (these are docks/boathouses/seawalls– not extensive interior residential remodels). Flexible on pay to market. Ideally this is a long term gig job. Likely 50-100 renderings a year. So, not a huge thing, not a big thing. Should be an easy, fun gig for someone with way better tech skills than me, ha! Looking for the right person to fit this piece for our business! Please pitch me and hit me up with any questions or concerns, thank you!

We're looking into the mechanical design space and want to understand in detail, how CAD professionals use tools like Solidworks. What you'll do (5–10 hrs/week to start): Showing us your real workflows in SolidWorks: how you build parts and assemblies, repair a feature tree or rebuild imported geometry, run an engineering change through revision control and the BOM, and hand off drawings and exports for manufacturing - and answering questions along the way: why this step, what's the shortcut, where do people go wrong? If you use SolidWorks regularly and can talk through your process clearly, you're exactly who we're looking for. No prep needed, just your day-to-day expertise. Who you are - any of these backgrounds fits: - Medical Device / Healthcare Mechanical Engineer - you design under design controls (ISO 13485 / FDA), with revision-controlled drawings and documentation behind every change. - Aerospace & Defense Design Engineer - you live in configuration management: ECNs, drawing packages, and first-article inspection against requirements. - Automotive / Consumer Hardware / Manufacturing Engineer - you take parts from design through DFM, BOM release, tooling, and supplier hand-offs. Must-have: 5+ years of hands-on, near-daily use of SolidWorks; fluency with assemblies, drawings, configurations, and PDM/revision control; able to articulate why you do what you do, not just click through it. Nice-to-have: experience across more than one of the profiles above; PLM-connected work (Arena, Windchill, Teamcenter) or hand-offs to adjacent tools (CAM, ANSYS or other CAE, Creo/NX/CATIA at client sites) in a regulated industry.

3D CAD Modeling of a Load-Bearing Clip — Ready for 3D Printing Project Overview: I have a detailed 2D drawing with full measurements for a new product called "the load-bearing clip." I need this converted into an accurate, print-ready 3D CAD model. The part needs to hold up structurally under load, so precision and correct tolerances matter. Scope of Work: - Convert the provided 2D drawing (with dimensions) into a fully modeled 3D CAD file - Ensure the design is optimized and validated for 3D printing (wall thickness, overhangs, tolerances, etc.) - Confirm the model meets the load-bearing requirements noted in the drawing - Provide the final files in STL format for printing, plus a native/editable format (STEP, SLDPRT, or similar) - One to two rounds of revisions are included based on my feedback Deliverables: - Print-ready STL file - Editable native CAD file (STEP or equivalent) - Brief notes on recommended print settings/material if you have expertise there (not required, just a bonus) Requirements: - Proven experience with 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar) - Experience designing parts specifically for 3D printing, not just general CAD modeling - Understanding of tolerances and structural/load-bearing design considerations - Ability to work from a hand-dimensioned drawing and ask clarifying questions if anything is unclear - Portfolio examples of similar print-ready mechanical or functional parts (please share with your proposal) Timeline: 2-3 weeks from project start to final delivery, including revisions. Budget Fixed price: $250-$350. Open to discussing scope if the part turns out to be more complex than expected once you review the drawing. To Apply Please include: 1. A few examples of past CAD work involving functional/mechanical parts designed for 3D printing 2. Your estimated turnaround time within the 2-3 week window 3. Any questions about the drawing before we get started

Mechanical Product Development Engineer – Consumer Product / CAD / DFM / Prototyping I’m developing a modular children’s feeding system and am looking for an experienced mechanical/product development engineer to help take the product from an established concept and specification stage through prototype-ready engineering. The product is a multi-component system centered around a stainless-steel cup with interchangeable components. It incorporates injection-molded plastic parts, silicone/LSR components, threaded interfaces, seals, and removable accessories. The system needs to be stackable, leak-resistant, durable, easy to clean and designed from the beginning for practical manufacturing and assembly. Current Project Stage A significant amount of product-development work has already been completed. I have: • Detailed product specifications and requirements • Defined component architecture and functionality • Preliminary dimensions and geometry direction • Material preferences • Visual references and approved concepts • Packaging and product-use requirements • Manufacturer discussions already underway I am not looking for someone simply to convert a sketch into a 3D CAD model. I need an engineer who can evaluate and develop the mechanical aspects of the system and help ensure the design is functional, manufacturable and ready for physical prototyping. Scope of Work The ideal engineer would be able to assist with: • Mechanical/product engineering • Parametric 3D CAD and complete assemblies • Component interface development • Threads, fits and tolerance development • Seal and leak-management considerations • Injection-molded plastic part design • Stainless-steel component manufacturability • Silicone/elastomer component integration • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Prototype-ready STEP/STL files • Engineering drawings where appropriate • Functional prototype review • CAD revisions following prototype testing • Manufacturer/tooling handoff support The product contains multiple components that must work together as a system, so experience designing assemblies and managing tolerance stack-up is important. Experience I'm Looking For Strong preference for someone with demonstrated experience in several of the following: • Consumer product development • Injection-molded product design • Multi-component mechanical assemblies • Food/beverage or liquid-containing products • Seals, gaskets or elastomer components • Threaded plastic components • Stainless-steel consumer products • Design for Manufacturing • Functional prototyping • Product development from concept through manufacturing Experience working with startups, inventors and overseas manufacturers is a plus. Project Structure I would prefer to structure the engagement as a fixed-price project divided into milestones rather than an open-ended hourly engagement. Potential phases may include: Engineering review and product architecture Detailed engineering and CAD development DFM and design refinement Prototype-ready engineering package Prototype evaluation and revisions Final manufacturing/tooling handoff The exact scope and milestones can be established together after reviewing the project. When Applying Please briefly tell me: About a similar multi-component consumer product you have personally engineered. Whether you have taken products from CAD through functional prototyping and manufacturing. Your experience with injection-molded plastics, seals/elastomers and DFM. What CAD software you primarily use. Whether you would be comfortable providing a milestone-based project estimate after reviewing the product requirements. Please include examples of relevant work where possible. I am currently evaluating a small number of engineers and am particularly interested in finding someone who can remain involved through prototype testing and manufacturer handoff.

I am converting my half bath to a full bath. I already have some drawings, but when I took them to the city, a whole bunch of things are missing. You wouldn’t be starting from zero exactly. I need somebody that will give me the files necessary to submit this via online to the city of San Jose Jose in California. I need somebody who can take me from A-to-Z until I get permits from the city to add a shower in my half bath. You have to be familiar with code.

Job Description I am developing a patent-stage consumer product that involves a precision two-component sacrificial foam mold system. The engineering is complete at the systems level. A detailed constraint brief, locked geometry, and full technical documentation are ready to hand over on day one under NDA. I have a solid background in 3D design and 5-axis CNC machining. I am not looking for someone to explain the basics. I am looking for a skilled solid modeler who can execute a well-defined engineering brief precisely — and who has the mechanical intuition to solve one genuinely novel geometry problem at the heart of this system. The core challenge in plain terms: One component of the mold system is a hollow curved foam shell that must be segmented into a three-dimensional jigsaw. The assembled jigsaw must be self-locking under inward compressive load during the casting process. After casting, every segment must be extractable through a constrained aperture — approximately 10 inches by 8.7 inches — without tools and without reaching inside the cast structure. The segmentation geometry, including a specific crown piece with a novel anti-uplift and wedge-free extraction geometry, is fully documented in the brief. The segmentation plan for the remaining shell segments is the open problem that requires spatial reasoning to solve in CAD. If that description made immediate sense to you and you already have a mental picture of the extraction sequence, we should talk. What You Will Receive After NDA A complete engineering brief package including all dimensions, functional requirements, geometric constraints, extraction aperture specifications, manufacturing tolerances, and reference drawings. The product category and application will be disclosed at that point. Phase 1 Deliverables 1. 3D solid model of the primary mold component — complete curved shell with solved segmentation geometry. All segments must pass through the extraction aperture in their optimal extraction orientation. The crown piece modeled to a specific documented geometry. Pull-cable attachment points and alignment features included. Drawn to final target dimensions — kerf compensation handled by the shop’s CAM software using a 3/8” cutter. 2. Interface option comparison — two interface options between mold sub-components to be modeled and assessed for machinability and shipping envelope. 3. Proportion renderings — scaled elevation views of three product sizes for design review. 4. Manufacturing file — STEP or IGES format ready for submission to a CNC foam pattern shop for quotation. Phase 2 (Contingent on Phase 1) Complete models for all three product sizes, secondary mold component models, full assembly model, exploded and section views for patent illustration, and bill of materials. Required Skills • Solid modeling in SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, or equivalent — complex curved surfaces, compound geometry, not prismatic parts • 5-axis CNC machining design experience — you understand witness marks, kerf compensation, draft angles, and what a foam shop can and cannot machine • Ability to evaluate extraction geometry — can a given segment clear a given aperture in a given orientation? This is the primary skill required for Phase 1 Preferred • Experience with EPS or soft material CNC machining design • Patent drawing or technical illustration experience Proposal Requirements I will only review proposals that directly answer these three questions: 1. Describe a specific complex geometry problem you have solved in 3D CAD — what made it difficult and how did you approach it. 2. Confirm your CAD platform and describe your 5-axis machining design experience specifically. 3. Based on the extraction geometry description above — what is your first question about how the segmentation problem should be approached? Proposals that do not answer all three will not be reviewed. I am not looking for the lowest bidder. I am looking for the right engineer. Terms • Hourly engagement — please quote your standard rate • Phase 1 is the initial commitment — Phase 2 follows on demonstrated performance • NDA required before any documentation is shared — this project is at the patent application stage and the product category will not be disclosed prior to NDA execution • Regular communication expected — screen shares and video calls to review geometry in progress This product has a clear commercial path and is being developed with patent counsel. The right engineer will have the opportunity to contribute to patent drawings and may have an ongoing role through prototyping and manufacturing.
