Manufacturing Design Jobs

I’m developing a reusable water bottle that physically reminds its owner to take a sip every hour. The cue I want is simple and visual: a small flag should rise from the lid when it’s time to drink and drop back down once the bottle is lifted or the cap is reset. I need a mechanical concept that can live entirely inside (or be integrated into) the bottle cap without relying on batteries, electronics, or external apps. Think clock-work, torsion springs, cam drives, or any passive timing solution that can reliably cycle every 60 minutes as long as the bottle is upright. Here’s what I’d like from you: • A clear explanation of the working principle, including sketches or diagrams that show how the hourly timing is achieved and how the flag deploys and retracts....

I already have a clear vision for a slim, leather-look metal wallet and now need a precise 3D model that turns that idea into manufacturable reality. The body must be metal, yet the outer surfaces should visually echo premium leather grain. Internally, I want two separate compartments that together hold at least 8–9 cards, with integrated RFID-blocking and enough tolerance so cards slide out smoothly but stay secure when the wallet is closed. Here’s what I need from you: • A fully detailed CAD model (STEP or SolidWorks preferred) suitable for CNC machining or metal injection moulding, including all parting lines, draft angles and hardware call-outs. • High-quality renders that showcase the texture, colour, and overall form so I can review aesthetics before tooling...

I am looking for a mechanical designer to create a compact protective frame for a Midas DL431 (6U rack device) using 1" × 1" 80/20 aluminum extrusion. The DL431 should mount using its front rack ears and standard rack rails, and the frame should act as a lightweight touring exoskeleton that protects the unit while remaining open on the sides for airflow and lifting. The framed unit must fit inside a Pelican 1637 Air case, include rear protection for connectors and attached cabling, and allow two identical frames to stack securely using a simple locating or pin system. I need a 3D CAD model, dimensioned drawings, and a complete 80/20 cut list and hardware list so the frame can be fabricated easily. I am specifically looking for someone with practical experience designing al...

I’d like a skilled jewellery CAD specialist to translate my concept for a classic solitaire engagement ring into a fully detailed 3D model. The file must be ready for printing, casting, and eventual stone setting, so accurate tolerances, clean surfaces, and correct scale are essential. I normally review designs in Matrix or Rhino, so please work in one of those environments and supply the native file alongside standard production formats. If you prefer a different workflow that still imports seamlessly into Matrix/Rhino, let me know first. Although the overall style is a timeless solitaire, I’m flexible on specifics such as shank profile, prong style, and centre-stone proportions. Share your creative ideas or past references and we’ll finalise the details together. Del...

I’m building a large-capacity (150 litre) agricultural drone that must stay genuinely affordable, so every design decision needs to revolve around off-the-shelf components—especially PCBs already on the market. The airframe, power system and avionics have to work together to carry and dispense liquid or granular product while remaining easy for a grower to assemble and service in the field. Core functions I need engineered into the platform are autonomous flight over flat cropland, precise real-time data collection for mapping and application logs, a reliable spraying mechanism, and a “siembra” module for spot seeding. The machine will service cereals, vegetables and fruit plots, so flexibility in nozzle options and application rates is essential. I’m lookin...

I’m completing a university project that calls for a full engineering design of a two-flange ball valve suitable for crude-oil service. The assembly—including body, ball, seats, stem, seals, and fasteners—must be laid out in stainless steel and verified against API 6A. While references to API 6D or 608 can guide good practice, every dimension, tolerance, and material choice has to pass an API 6A compliance review. What I need from you is the complete digital design package created in a mainstream CAD environment (SolidWorks or Fusion360). The file should be able to make edits and easy to revise for future FEA or CFD checks. Deliverables • 3-D solid models of the full valve assembly and each component (.STEP + native CAD files) • Detailed 2-D fabrication dr...

Ideally would like it 3mm thick for up to 35 point cards and thicker cases for thicker cards. Could this be done?

We manufacture washroom cubicles and need an experienced CAD drafter who can jump in at short notice. For every project I will send you the layout, panel dimensions and hardware details. Your job is to turn that information into: • Client sign-off drawings – clean, clearly annotated PDF sheets produced in AutoCAD • Manufacturing packs – one DXF and one STP file per panel, plus a compiled PDF set for workshop reference All files must originate from AutoCAD so that my internal team can edit them later if required. Accuracy is critical; hole centres, edge bands and any special cut-outs must match the information I provide. I have attached a completed project as a template so you can see layering, title-block style and the level of detail expected. If you are comfo...

I need a prototype component for climbing accessories. The component needs to be made from a plastic pipe and designed for impact resistance. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Experience in prototyping sports equipment - Knowledge of materials for impact resistance - Background in designing climbing accessories

I need an experienced SolidWorks specialist to take full ownership of multiple flatbed trailer projects. Every model must optimize load capacity, stand up to heavy-duty use, and make loading or unloading as straightforward as possible. All trailers will be steel-constructed, so please be comfortable specifying beam sizes, weld details, and connection hardware for this material. Typical deliverables include the complete 3D model, detailed fabrication drawings, BOMs, and any strength or clearance checks you normally run for road-worthy equipment. This is not a one-off task—our workload is continuous. If your first design meets our quality and manufacturability standards, you can expect a steady stream of trailer assignments. When you respond, show me at least one prior flatbed...

Mechanical Design (CAD) for Marine Aluminum Baitboard – DFM for Laser/Folding Project Description: I am looking for a skilled Mechanical Engineer or Industrial Designer to create a production-ready CAD package for a new line of marine aluminum baitboards. The design style is inspired by modern, high-end "folded plate" aluminum boards (similar to BMT Products). The goal is a sleek, modular design that is easy to manufacture and assemble. Scope of Work: * 3D Modeling: Create a complete 3D assembly including integrated rod holders, cup holders, and a recessed area for a cutting surface (HDPE). * Design for Manufacturing (DFM): The design must be optimized for CNC Laser Cutting and CNC Press Brake folding. Use tab-and-slot features to minimize welding time and ensure easy ali...

I’m developing a new piece of industrial-grade machinery intended for a manufacturing line here in New Zealand and I’m after a mechanical engineer who can own the full product-design cycle. Because of the need for occasional site visits, supplier liaison, and compliance with local standards, I strongly prefer someone already based in New Zealand. The work starts at concept generation and runs through to production-ready documentation. You’ll translate my performance requirements and rough sketches into detailed 3D CAD models, validate the design with strength and tolerance analysis, and prepare drawings that a local fabricator can pick up without follow-up questions. Familiarity with common NZ/AU standards, readily available materials, and local safety regulations is ess...
