3D Printed Shape-Shifting Mechanism Design
Budget: £10 – £20 GBP
I'm searching for a skilled mechanical engineer that can design a shape-shifting mechanism. This specialized project involves transforming a grid of 4x4 cubes into a rectangle using 3D printing techniques. Here are more details:
- The ideal rectangle dimensions generated from this grid should be 80mm x 30mm.
- The mechanism should be capable of achieving a maximum height of 80mm when transforming.
- The design needs to be suitable for 3D printing with plastic.
The perfect candidate should have:
- Strong know-how in mechanical engineering and 3D design.
- Proven experience with 3D printing.
- Proficiency with plastic materials and their behaviors during transformation processes.
This project provides an opportunity to apply creativity, innovation, and technical skills into creating a model unlike any other - a shape-shifting mechanism that blurs the lines between imagination and reality.
The shapes I require it to transform into are below as images. This is a design that could then be used as a badge. The user should be able to twist something or press something and it switches from one shape to the other.
