I am looking for an experienced 3D CAD Mechanical Engineer or Industrial Designer to help finalize production-ready files for a physical consumer electronic accessory—a low-profile, adhesive-mounted phone grip. I have initialized early concept models in Fusion (including the base plate and bumper component geometries), but I need a specialist to refine the CAD files, ensure proper tolerances, and prepare the final package for contract manufacturing (injection molding / prototyping). Key Deliverables: Model Refinement & Assemblies: Refine and optimize existing components (rigid Polycarbonate base plate and flexible TPU bumper component). Ensure proper mechanical fit, snap-fits/interlocks, and wall thickness tolerances between rigid and flexible parts. Assist in modeling/finalizing the internal sliding track mechanism and connector geometry. Manufacturing Handoff Package: Production-ready 3D CAD files (STEP / IGES) suitable for contract manufacturing. 3D Printing Files (STL / 3MF) for rapid prototyping/testing. Basic 2D Engineering Drawings (PDF / DWG) with key dimensions, tolerances, and surface callouts for quote/build validation with the manufacturer. Project Scope & Requirements: Strong expertise in product design for injection molding (draft angles, uniform wall thickness, ribbing, material pairings like PC and TPU). Proficiency in Autodesk Fusion, SolidWorks, or similar professional CAD software (Fusion preferred for direct file alignment). Clear communication and experience prepping handoffs for Contract Manufacturers (CMs).

I am seeking a part-time assistant to aid with 3D modeling tasks using Autodesk Fusion. The role involves working a maximum of 4 hours per day, 5 days a week. I currently handle my projects on my own but I am running out of bandwidth to handle everything on my own. The ideal candidate will have experience in 3D design / modeling, and be proficient in Autodesk Fusion. This position is perfect for someone looking to contribute to exciting projects while working within a flexible schedule. Applicants must be located in California. Work will be remote (could be some in person if you are local in Los Angeles but not necessary)

**Florida Permit/CAD Drafter Needed – Fence Site Plan Revision – Fort Lauderdale – 24 Hour Turnaround** I need an experienced **Florida permit/site-plan CAD drafter** to revise an existing site plan for a fence permit on a new-construction residence in **Fort Lauderdale, Florida**.

We're seeking professionals who use FreeCAD alongside another software in their daily workflows to record and share their real workflow processes. This project aims to capture authentic usage scenarios to enhance our understanding and to create AI-based tooling. Selected contributors will be compensated for their participation to help create rubrics, samples, task briefs, as well as recordings for the suggested task briefs. This project is expected to last for 4 weeks and we are looking for a minimum of 10 suggested tasks (we will work with you to refine these) and the recordings for them per week. There is possibility to extend if the quality of work is high.

I have a completed CAD/STL file for a custom gold pendant and need an experienced jewelry 3D printing professional to produce a high-resolution physical resin or castable wax/resin prototype. What I Need The CAD design is already complete. I am not looking for someone to redesign or recreate the pendant. I need: * High-resolution jewelry-quality 3D print from my existing STL * Resin, wax, or castable resin appropriate for fine jewelry * Accurate reproduction of the dimensions and fine details in the STL * Clean print with minimal visible layer lines * Finished physical prototype shipped to me Purpose of the Prototype Before having the pendant cast in 14K gold, I want to physically inspect the design and verify: * Overall diameter and dimensions * Thickness and depth * Bail opening and proportions * Pendant weight/feel at its current dimensions * How the pendant hangs from a chain * How large it looks when worn against the chest * Visibility and quality of the smaller design details The final gold pendant is expected to be approximately 45 grams, so getting the proportions right before casting is important. Files I can provide: * STL file * Rhino 3DM file if needed * Reference/render images of the finished design Ideal Freelancer You should have experience with: * Fine jewelry 3D printing * High-resolution SLA/DLP resin printing * Castable jewelry resin or wax printing * Pendants and other jewelry intended for precious-metal casting Please include photos of jewelry pieces you have previously printed, especially detailed pendants. When Applying Please tell me: 1. What printer you will use 2. What resin/wax material you recommend 3. Your achievable print resolution/layer height 4. Total cost including shipping 5. Estimated turnaround time 6. Whether the printed model could also be used directly for investment casting if I approve the prototype Budget dependent on print quality, material, and shipping. This is a prototype/verification job first. If the print is accurate and the freelancer also has jewelry casting experience, there may be additional work afterward.

We are looking for a drafter to support the plan development side of our engineering firm.

ABOUT US: We're a new veteran-owned athletic and lifestyle apparel brand launching this fall. We have print-ready designs and need on-brand product imagery for our Shopify store while we wait on physical samples. Our look is restrained and muted, high-contrast — NOT glossy or over-produced. WHAT WE NEED: Realistic images of REAL photographed models wearing OUR supplied t-shirt design, composited into REAL photographic environments (outdoor training settings, stadium, gym, urban, country, camping, natural light). The person and the shirt should read as a genuine photo — real model, our real design, believable real background. Can have others in photo including friends and family events. Could be AI is realistic enough. SPECIFICALLY: 1. On-model mockups — our design placed on 4 specific color t-shirts and logos worn by real photographed models matching our real print placement (front chest phrase, right arm and back yoke logo. Can use other colors but need the main 4 for sure and possibly a hat. 2. Real-background compositing — place those models into real photographic environments so it looks like an on-location shot, not a studio cutout. Natural lighting, believable shadows, matched color grade. 3. A few flat-lay / detail mockups of the same designs for product pages and 4 ghost model versions showing front, right arm and back. We will supply art and basic mockups. CRITICAL Elements - Need completed work withing 4 days of contact acceptance. ~ Prefer REAL photographed models. Have not seen fully AI-generated people that meet that visual. Authenticity matters to our brand — AI-generated humans must be indistinguishable from real people.. - You MUST use OUR supplied designs. Other designs must be called out for consideration. - Match garment color to reality (black, navy, heather gray, slate and gray shirts) and keep the design faithful to our real print size and placement. They are just words, a flag and a logo. - Backgrounds must look like real photographic environments, cleanly composited (matched lighting/shadow/grade) — not obvious cut-and-paste. - Deliver web-optimized files + editable layered source (PSD) so we can swap in real product photos later. TO APPLY: - Share a portfolio showing on-model apparel mockups AND real-background compositing (before/after composites a plus). - Tell us your workflow and tools (Placeit, Photoshop, model stock sources, etc.). - Confirm you use REAL model photography, or demonstrate that AI is indistinguishable. - Note if you can also do a real product/lifestyle photo shoot for us later (bonus, not required now). SCOPE: Start with ~4 designs (front on-model, back and right arm + flat-lay/detail + ghost mannequin) composited 4 designs into 2–3 real environments. Each can be multiple in a photo, like a joint outdoor activity. Depending on photo composition, probably between 18- 24 pictures. Ongoing work as we add products and, later, real photography. BUDGET: Please quote per-image and a package rate for the initial batch. We value clean, accurate, authentic-looking work over volume.
