Mechanical Engineer / Industrial Designer for Consumer Kitchen Product CAD
I am developing a novel kitchen hand tool and am looking for an experienced mechanical engineer or industrial designer to create production-ready 3D CAD files.
The product is a reusable consumer kitchen gadget incorporating a spring-loaded actuator mechanism within the handle. It involves mechanical assembly design (no electronics or motors) and the final design should be suitable for injection molding or similar mass-manufacturing processes.
What I need:
1. Review a brief written description and hand sketches of the concept (shared after NDA)
2. Create 3D CAD model(s) in SolidWorks or Fusion 360
3. Deliver native CAD files + STEP/IGES exports
4. Ensure geometry is optimized for injection molding (draft angles, wall thickness, etc.)
5. 1–2 rounds of revision included
Ideal candidate:
1. Experience with consumer products or housewares (kitchen tools a plus)
2. Comfortable working from rough sketches and a written spec
3. Can recommend materials appropriate for food-contact use
4. Has worked with manufacturers or prototyping services before
Please include examples of similar consumer product work in your proposal, along with any credentials (such as degrees, certifications, or professional background) that speak to the qualifications listed above.
Timeline: Looking to complete within 1–2 weeks from start.
Note: Full product details will be shared after signing a mutual NDA.
