Manufacturable Chassis and wheel Design -- 2
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I am building an off-road ATV for a collegiate competition and need a mechanical designer who can take the concept all the way from initial layout to shop-ready drawings. This is not a cosmetic CAD exercise; every tube, bracket, joint, and weld must be ready for fabrication under real-world constraints.
Here’s what I expect:
• Collaborative definition of the overall chassis architecture, including expert recommendations on material selection (steel, aluminum, or any alternative you feel best meets strength-to-weight and cost targets) and a suitable suspension concept.
• Detailed 3D CAD model produced in a mainstream, production-oriented platform such as SolidWorks, complete with weldments, mounting points, and service clearances.
• FEA to validate torsional rigidity, crash loads, and competition rule compliance.
• Fully dimensioned drawings with GD&T, cut lists, tube bend data, and a consolidated BOM.
• A concise, step-by-step build brief that walks our student team from raw material procurement through jig setup, welding, and final inspection.
• Ongoing DFM guidance so we avoid redesign loops once the chassis hits the shop floor.
I value prior experience with similar off-road prototypes, and I’m counting on you to flag manufacturability traps before they cost us time, points or money. If this sounds like your wheelhouse, please tell me which CAD/analysis tools you will use, highlight a comparable project you took to fabrication, and outline how you will structure design reviews and hand-offs.
