Description:
We were very happy with the results from our first design concept competition so we decided to host another Cad Crowd competition but focus more on designing to a specific PCB and shape this time.We're looking for small, sleek, manufacurable, and aesthetic designs for a hard-hat clipable safety notification system for construction workers to improve their work safety. The device can sense dangers with internal electronics and alert the user real-time using light and sound notifications.
The device will be clipped to the under-side of the hard-hat (see attached image "placement.png"). The device has LEDs along the curved portion of the PCB and two side-fire speakers to convey dangers to the user (see attached image "PCB.png"). There is a snap-dome push button on the right side of the PCB. Please design a fused rubber actuator for the snap-dome.
Assembly: The front case will have 3mm screw bosses. The clip slides over the boss, next the PCB, then the back case, then a screw to hold it all together (see attached image "assembly.png") .
The project will be pre-payed once there is 3 quality design entries (including CAD files).
Wants:
The final grade will be determined as follows:40% Manufacturability: The design fits the PCB and can easily and cost-effectively be adjusted for plastic mold injection. The design is 3D printable.
30% Aesthetics: The design is slim and attractive.
10% Creativity: The design does not resemble previous entries and features creative patterns and lines.
10% Water Resistance: micro-USB, speakers, and other entry points employ water resistant designs.
10% Designer Interactions: Designer actively engages with Buyer.
Don't Wants:
- Large clunky design- Housing doesn't match PCB
- Design aesthetic but unrealistic in terms of manufacturability.
Software:
- AutoCAD (Latest)

Thank you everyone who submitted design entries! Congratulations to the 1st place prize winner Vivek for submitting a very attractive and manufacurable housing design. He made multiple submissions and worked very hard meet my requests. Congratulations to Peter for 2nd place prize for a very aesthetic and creative design. He also redesigned multiple times to meet my suggested changes. And lastly, congratulations to Indrawan for a very creative and manufacturerable design. He has a very creative and artistic design, and probably the most aesthetic clip design.
I'll be sending a more detailed score sheet out to everyone soon!

Hi all,
Thank you so much for the submissions! I'll grade the entries over the weekend, attach a grade sheet, and select winners.

Great contest ! Thanks ! Once i receive your answers I'll update my design and resubmit.
Do you know what the estimated annual usage on this product is, so that I can designed around a P20 steel tool, or a hardened H13 steel tool ?
If the USB port is to be made with a mechanical slide in the tool, then you'll need a hardened steel mold. The USB port cutout can be made with an open and close mold, but I don't know what your tooling budget is.

Is it ok to design around a PC/ABS material ?
Do you need it to be at a particular UV rating for this application ?

are you going to use ejector pins in the mold, or will this part need a 3 plate tool design.
Please let me know before the contest ends so that I can submit a proper design.

oh, one other thing. is there a particular location that you would like the parts gated into ? This affects the design as well and I'm assuming that you don't want a big ugly gate scar on the housing from an operator using clippers to cut it off.
Do you want it subgated or tab gated ?
thanks.

Hi, I need some more time.
I'm working on ribs that are to be used as board supports and I'm not sure what thickness to make them without causing
ugly sink marks on the outside of the housing. I'm sure others have already considered this, but I haven't seen comments on it.
Can you provide some assistance on what the housing wall thickness should be, and what the rib thickness should be ?
I'm assuming that there is some sort of cosmetic specification that needs to be considered in the design.
Also, are you texturing these parts ? What draft angle should I use and what is the Mold Tech specification you plan on using
for texture if infact you are going to want texture.
Also, is it ok to use multiple slide mechanisms in the injection mold. These increase your mold cost 30-40% and I want to make sure my design is in line with your tooling budget.
Thanks.

Some more time would be nice! Thanks!
Yes.
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone need more time with their designs? If two or more people do, I'll extend the project for 3 days.

Hi Everyone,
Here is some material to help everyone with manufactuability and making models compatible with plastic mold injection:

Hi khan,
Solidworks is fine. Just be sure to submit .stl files when you're complete with you design so we can 3D print your design.

Hi MAINAK,
If anything, I'll extend the competition if everyone needs more time.

Please don't close this competition before deadline.
Hi Idham,
Please build the housing exactly to the PCB specifications and 3D models.

the PCB design must be same with the attachment?
Hi VM,
There is a 0.5 mm tall micro-controller. Please model 0.5 mm of clearance for the bottom of the PCB.

Thanks, I had already modeled the PCB in 3D, but it would be nice to have your file in .dwg or .dxf file (saved as 2010 autocad version), just to compare. What troubles me more, though, is the clearance between the bottom face of the PCB and the case. I've gone with 2mm clearance, as I guess there's no electronic component of significant thickness at the bottom of the PCB ( e.g. like the thickness of the battery, on top of the PCB)

7th Street Food Truck Park
I have a vacant lot that we are planning to launch as a food truck park. I need design ideas for the layout of the food trucks (6 to 8 trucks), utilizing the best method for getting trucks in and out of the property each day. Each truck needs to have a pad for parking with electric service. The design will need a covered outdoor seating area for the food truck park patrons. Picnic tables and sunblock structure with ceiling fans. Also, we need a small structure on the premises for a management office for the park (very small - one room), a small cabana style opening for a bar and two restrooms attached for guests. We'd like the perimeter of the food truck park to be enclosed with only one way in and out for guests and the food trucks. The design should also include parking, as there is no available street parking. Please draw to scale!!. The property does not have public sewer so a septic system will have to be installed. Please reserve 100 ft at the rear of the property for the drain field. Please send in PDF format

Myth and Mystique
I am trying to make a silicone mermaid brush. I need a cad design of the tail since the ferrule and hair would be added on. This is a make up brush used for make up. I would like the tail to have scales as well as a bit of pearls.
