Custom 3D Bracket Design from Scan Data (FBX → CNC / 3D Print Ready)
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
Title
Custom Scan-Based Bracket Design (FBX → Manufacturing-Ready STEP/STL)
Description
I need an experienced CAD designer to produce 2 custom-fit mounting brackets based on real-world scan data.
This is a reverse-engineering task, not a generic design. Accuracy and real-world fit are critical.
Objective
Design two brackets that:
Conform to irregular external brick wall contours
Accommodate multiple cables exiting a wall vent
Provide a flat front face for sealing
Allow installation of a ~200mm diameter mesh filter
Enable an airtight seal against the wall
What I will provide
3x 3D scans (FBX format) covering the vent areas
Reference images with approximate dimensions
Diagonal reference: ~150mm
Photos showing:
Cable routing
Surface irregularities / damage
Installation context
What I need delivered
For each of the 2 vents:
Custom bracket (~1.25 inch / ~32mm thickness)
Rear face:
Matches wall surface + cable geometry
Front face:
Flat and suitable for sealing / mounting filter
Output files:
STEP (mandatory)
STL (if 3D printing is used)
Native CAD file (SolidWorks / Fusion / etc.)
Functional requirements (critical)
Must include real-world tolerances for proper fit
(scan data is not perfect — allow for install clearance)
Must support airtight sealing, including one of:
Gasket interface
Compression lip
Sealant channel
Must not compress or damage cables
Include proper cable relief / pass-through geometry
Must be structurally rigid
No flexing or deformation when fixed to wall
Must include a proposed fixing method
Screw positions / mounting strategy
Manufacturing considerations
Design must be suitable for:
3D printing or
CNC machining (you advise best method)
Must include:
Appropriate wall thickness
Practical geometry for manufacture (no impossible features)
Material recommendation required:
Outdoor use (UV / temperature exposure)
Important notes
Source data is FBX (mesh)
→ You must be able to clean, process, and convert to usable CAD
If a different format is required, specify it
Accuracy is critical
→ Poor fit = unusable part
Ideal freelancer
Proven experience with:
Scan → CAD workflows
Reverse engineering real-world geometry
Designing parts that actually fit and seal
Understands:
Tolerances
Manufacturing constraints
Outdoor material behaviour
When applying, include
Example of similar work (scan → physical part)
Software you will use
Any concerns with FBX workflow
Your recommended manufacturing method
Additional note
This part will be installed externally and must seal properly.
Design decisions should prioritise fit, durability, and sealing performance, not just appearance.
