Mechanical Product Prototype Design
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I’m moving from early concept sketches into full prototype development and need an experienced mechanical designer who can take charge of the product design work and guide it right through to a reliable, test-ready functional prototype.
Here’s what I expect from our collaboration:
• Detailed 3D CAD models that resolve every mechanical interface and tolerance
• Engineering drawings suitable for machining/3-D printing, including exploded views and GD&T call-outs
• A concise bill of materials with suggested off-the-shelf components and material specs
• Assembly instructions and basic performance checks so I can validate the prototype in-house
I’m open on software, though SolidWorks or Fusion 360 will slot neatly into my current workflow. If you prefer another professional CAD suite, that’s fine as long as the native files and neutral formats (STEP/IGES) come with the hand-off.
The design needs to balance manufacturability with robustness—this unit will be handled, cycled and stress-tested, not just shown on a pedestal—so real-world fit, alignment and serviceability matter more than presentation cosmetics.
Once you’ve reviewed the requirements, please tell me how you would tackle the job, the milestones you’d suggest, and any prior examples of functional prototypes you have shepherded from paper to working hardware.
