I have a concept for a 3D-Printable Broom/Mop Stand accessory that clips onto a standard 1-inch broom or mop handle and allows the tool to stand upright on its own. The concept uses: • A removable clamp that attaches to the handle • A sliding sleeve with a push-button release • A stationary lower collar • Six folding legs • Umbrella-style linkage arms connecting the sleeve to the legs Operation: When the button is pressed, the sleeve slides down and forces the legs outward into a stable support position. When retracted, the sleeve moves back up, folding the legs flat against the handle and hiding them inside a shroud. Please advise on feasiblity and practically. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome. I have a rough sketch available.

# Senior Industrial Designer / CAD Engineer (Organic Consumer Product + DFM Experience) We are looking for an experienced Industrial Designer / CAD Engineer with strong **Design for Manufacturing (DFM)** experience to help finalize the design of a premium consumer beauty product for injection molding. This project is **not a concept design from scratch**. We have already gone through multiple design iterations and are looking for someone with the technical and aesthetic skillset to bridge the gap between our existing prototypes and a final production-ready CAD file. ## What Currently Exists * Original 3D scans of the reference comb that inspired the project * Existing ZBrush files * Existing SolidWorks files * First-generation 3D printed prototype * Second-generation 3D printed prototype * Second-generation prototype with hand-sculpted DAS air clay modifications illustrating desired refinements to the final form The primary challenge is accurately translating these physical refinements into a manufacturable CAD model while preserving the subtle ergonomic and aesthetic qualities of the object. ## Current Challenges Our previous design team utilized separate ZBrush and SolidWorks designers, and we believe the transition between those workflows introduced inaccuracies and compromises to the form. In particular: * We do not believe the original tooth geometry was accurately recreated from the scanned reference. * We need to preserve the performance characteristics of the original comb while elevating the overall industrial design and ergonomics. * The final form must feel like a premium beauty product while remaining optimized for injection molding. ## Scope of Work * Refine and finalize the existing 18-tooth comb design * Reconstruct a second 22-tooth version based on the original scanned reference geometry * Ensure both versions are optimized for injection molding and manufacturing * Work collaboratively through multiple refinement iterations using physical prototypes * Help create a complementary wall-mounted shower holder/base that integrates with the final comb design (basic sketches already exist) ## Ideal Candidate We're specifically looking for someone with experience in: * Industrial design * Organic surface modeling * Consumer products * Beauty or personal care products (preferred) * Injection molding * Design for Manufacturing (DFM) * Translating physical prototypes into production-ready CAD geometry * ZBrush and SolidWorks (or equivalent surfacing workflows) ## Location **Strong preference for candidates located in New York City or the Tri-State area.** We believe this project will require in-person collaboration to review physical prototypes, compare them against the original reference object, and make nuanced ergonomic and aesthetic refinements that are difficult to communicate remotely. ## Timeline Timing is a priority. We are looking to begin immediately and move through this refinement process as quickly as possible with the right partner. If you have experience bringing high-end consumer products from prototype to production and are comfortable balancing organic aesthetics with manufacturability, we'd love to hear from you. Please include examples of relevant consumer product work and any injection-molded products you've helped bring to market.
