3D Designer Needed for CNC Wood Moulds
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Title: Designer/Developer in 3D STL Design for CNC Woodcutting Moulds with Innovative Features
Description:
I am seeking a skilled and experienced professional to design, measure, and format 3D STL files that can be converted into G-code for use with Aspire Vectric CNC software. The objective is to create wooden, enclosed moulds for casting concrete flower pots and similar design products, with a strong emphasis on innovation and functionality.
---
Project Scope:
Deliverables:
10 3D STL Design files:
1. Box or rectangular-shaped moulds: 5 designs.
2. Cylindrical, oval, or spherical-shaped moulds: 5 designs (using innovative "staving" techniques, similar to how wine barrels are constructed, to achieve the rounded shape).
- The STL models must:
- Be optimized for CNC woodcutting, accounting for machine limitations.
- Provide precise instructions for cutting wood into shapes that assemble into enclosed moulds for casting.
- Ensure moulds are leak-proof and deliver a smooth, high-quality finish.
- Bonus Feature: Integration of self-watering or other innovative functionalities in the mould design, where feasible.
---
Key Challenges:
- Designing creative and practical moulds that use a spliced or segmented approach to overcome CNC machine constraints.
- Ensuring the designs are easy to assemble, robust, and leak-proof for casting concrete or similar materials.
- Adding innovative features, such as self-watering systems or structural enhancements, to improve the usability and functionality of the final products.

Example Reference:
- [YouTube Example of 3D Printed Moulds for Casting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nONxhQV33oI).
- The goal is to replicate such designs but with CNC-manufactured wooden moulds, integrating innovative enhancements where applicable.
---
End Product:
Wooden frames that can be assembled into enclosed casting moulds for flower pots or similar products, designed to deliver both functionality and aesthetics.
---
Requirements:
- Proficiency in 3D STL file creation tailored for CNC cutting.
- Familiarity with Aspire Vectric CNC software and G-code generation.
- Ability to adapt 3D printing concepts to CNC woodcutting applications.
- Experience with segmented/cylindrical design techniques (e.g., staving).
- Creative problem-solving skills to incorporate innovative features like self-watering systems.
---
Deliverables Timeline & Quote:
- Please provide a quote for the creation of 10 3D STL files, including:
1. Five rectangular/box-shaped moulds.
2. Five cylindrical/oval/spherical moulds (spliced/segmented design).
- Indicate additional costs and timelines for including self-watering or other innovative features.
---
Additional Notes:
- Exceptional work could lead to a long-term collaboration, as there are additional designs planned for similar projects.
- Kindly include examples of previous work or a portfolio demonstrating your expertise in CNC design, STL file creation, and innovative product development.
