Manufacturing Design Jobs

I have a steady stream of mechanical work that revolves around producing clear, fully-dimensioned 2D drawings in SolidWorks and, quite often, reverse-engineering existing parts. Everything is still at the concept-design stage, so I rely on precise drawings to validate form, fit, and function before committing to tooling. Here is what I need from you on an ongoing basis: • Translate my hand sketches, photos, or sample components into SolidWorks parts and assemblies, then generate manufacturing-ready SLDDRW files (plus PDF/DXF exports). • Reverse-engineer physical parts when all I can supply is reference geometry or measurements, preserving design intent and critical tolerances. • Apply appropriate GD&T, material call-outs, and exploded views where they help the sh...

I am building a new automatic labeling unit for our production line and need a mechanical designer who can take it from concept to shop-floor-ready documentation. You will work in SolidWorks (advanced level) and, where needed, refine details in AutoCAD. The job demands strong machine-design skills: you will be laying out the feed-in conveyor, label applicator head, adjustment mechanisms, and guarding, then wrapping everything in a sheet-metal enclosure that meets both safety and aesthetics. Because the machine will go straight into fabrication, every component must follow good DFM practice, with GD&T applied where critical. I also expect a structured Bill of Materials that purchasing can import directly into our ERP. Deliverables • Fully detailed 3D assembly in SolidWorks, param...

I have a machine prototype that is already in the detailed-design phase, but I need an experienced mechanical engineer to push it across the finish line. Before anything else, I’d like to review samples of past work that show how you handle similar projects—especially complex mechanisms taken from CAD through to fabrication-ready documentation and validated by simulation. Once I’m confident we’re a good fit, the assignment breaks down into three concrete deliverables: • 3D modeling – refine or rebuild the current CAD so every component fits, moves, and assembles exactly as intended (preferred platforms are SolidWorks or Fusion 360, but I’m open if you use equivalent professional software). • Technical drawings – create fully dimension...

I have a handful of straightforward, functional plastic parts destined for everyday consumer products and I need them taken all the way to injection-mould-ready CAD. The geometry is simple, but I want to be sure every feature respects draft angles, wall-thickness rules, gate and ejector placement, and other DFM best practices so the moulds run trouble-free in production. You will start from rough sketches and basic dimensional requirements that I supply and turn them into complete 3D models (SolidWorks or equivalent STEP/IGES is fine). Please include any light simulation checks you normally perform—Moldflow, shrinkage, warpage—so we can catch issues early. A short design-for-assembly note would also be helpful because these parts interface with off-the-shelf hardware. Deliver...

I have a set of unique part geometries that need to be molded in ABS plastic, so the focus is on creating a reliable injection mold specifically for custom parts rather than high-volume mass production. The core of the job is to translate my existing 3D models into a fully detailed mold design that can be machined and tested without surprises. You’ll start from the STEP files I supply, optimise gate placement and runner layout for ABS, add draft where necessary, and resolve any undercuts through lifters or slides. Ideally, you work comfortably in SolidWorks or NX and can back up decisions with basic Moldflow or equivalent simulation to confirm fill, pack, and cooling performance for ABS. I will need: • A complete 3D tool assembly showing cavity, core, cooling, ejector system, ...

I’m developing a new hardened-plastic component that will live inside a mobile phone housing, where space is tight and constant micro-abrasion from buttons, sliders and dust particles quickly erodes standard polymers. The priority is to create a genuinely wear-resistant material formulation—not just tweak an existing grade—so the core task is the complete design of the hardened plastic itself. What I need from you • Select or formulate the base resin, additives, fillers and surface treatments that will maximise wear resistance while staying thin and lightweight enough for smartphone assemblies. • Model expected wear rates and heat build-up under repetitive contact (FEA or equivalent simulation welcome). • Provide lab-ready mixing ratios and processin...

I’m developing a fully transparent TPU “smart” shoe that includes an internal hollow chamber capable of holding water-based liquid so the wearer can change colors on the fly. I already have the functional idea sketched out; what I need now is a footwear CAD specialist who can translate it into a manufacturing-ready design while keeping breathability front and center. The entire shoe—upper and sole—must be clear TPU, injection-mouldable, comfortable for everyday use, and completely waterproof when filled. Within the midsole and upper you’ll engineer the chamber geometry, a simple filling and sealing mechanism, and any reinforcing ribs or film transitions needed to preserve flexibility without clouding the material. I’d also like your insight on wal...
