CAD Design for Innovative "Wrap-Lock" Pallet
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
We are a logistics startup developing the "Wrap-Lock," a hybrid composite pallet that eliminates plastic shrink wrap. We require a manufacturing-ready CAD assembly (SolidWorks/STEP).
The Challenge: Design a lightweight (<45 lbs total) pallet that houses a Wide-Format Retractable Mesh Containment System.
Specific Design Requirements:
Composite Structure: Design for Pultruded Fiberglass Skeleton over-molded with Structural Foam.
Wide-Format Mechanism: Design an internal spring-loaded roller housing (within the 4" stringer height) to hold 18ft of mesh fabric.
3-Point Interface: The fabric pull-bar must have 3 distinct locking tongues that mate with 3 recessed buckles on the opposing side.
Weight Optimization: Use truss geometries and cable-actuated linkages to ensure the total assembly stays under 45 lbs.
Bi-Directional Clearance: Solve for the clearance where the Side A-C roller crosses the Side B-D roller in the center (e.g., offset heights).
Deliverables:
Native 3D CAD files & STEP export.
2D Technical Drawings with critical dimensions.
BOM (Bill of Materials) with estimated weights per
