Description:
Hello. We're looking for skeletal open-concept computer case designs with emphasis on showing-off the GPU component.'Less is more' to achieve minimal footprint during manufacturing - ideally restricted to aluminium cnc machining and bending.
Have fun-- this is a competition that encourages ambition.
After award, we will contact our chosen designer to enter R&D process with us + additional payment.
Example: please view below as an ideal design, however, do not submit similar as this is a competitor.

Optional inspiration: www.raindesigninc.com/mtower.html
Wants:
Clarifications:1. 4mm thick aluminium panels
2. If possible, please consider practical wiring channels for cable management
3. GPU will be connected with a PCI-E riser (flat cable), so can be detached from the motherboard.
For fair comparison, please utilise the following models in your design:
1. RTX2080Ti - 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/c4e12918-f09a-4af4-8a3f-100e07e51899/Nvidia-GeForce-RTX-2080-Ti-Graphics-Card
2. Mini-itx MB - 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/bafff50c-2ea0-4c94-b663-f01da1be2b2b/Gigabyte-Aorus-I-Z390-Pro-Wifi-mini-itx-motherboardmobo
3. PSU - 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/2d56d6ab-d1f2-4ab7-91a8-46e8c43fb6ad/Corsair-CX650M-Computer-Power-Supply
Don't Wants:
Boring, enclosed computer cases. Exception being that, the GPU is uniquely positioned and the rest of the computer is enclosed. That is acceptable.

Discussion
please do review the design so i can work on it
Can I know your company name/logo to add branding?
which are the manufacturing technique need to be consider.
any thing else need to be consider ?
how much complex the design should be on the scale of 1 to 10 ( "1" being simple plane sheet metal and 10 being complex 3D generative design only possible to produce with with 3D printing or CNC )

Hi Krisnaas, yes just mini-itx for now. Form factor is important to us.
hii
this case only for mini itx?

Hi GalaxyRobotics,
Excellent questions.
1. No multi-GPU requirement.
2. No, not necessary if open case. However, vertical space to fit larger CPU coolers is a must. (80mm). If enclosed, I would suggest simple perforation and a small fan.
3. To lessen the complication of design, I would say it is not necessary. If you wish to include compatibility with liquid coolers as part of your submission, it must be an optional/add-on bracket etc.

Hello, and thank you for this interesting contest.
I have a couple questions:
Will the case need to have multi GPU (SLI/Crossfire) compatibility?
Will the case need to provide cooling for the motherboard?
WIll the case need to have space for a radiator for an All in One Cooler?
Thank you again, and I am looking forward to working on this project.

Hi Mochidudu,
It sounds like a really fun competitions and I will like to submit entries as soon as possible. However, is it possible for you to share a more generalized version of the design,files, i.e. IGS/IPT file format? I use Solidworks for design and a Sketchup file is not supported in it.
Please let us know, if its possible.
Thanks

Photo Booth
Greetings,
As a commercial photographer I was getting sick of this DIY Photo Booth market. So I've spent the past 2 years prototyping different products to combine to make a reliable product for the market. While doing this we built a company that would let our products be tested in the real world.
We will be as detailed as possible, if you need any more info please send me a mail.
What we are looking for:
We want to build a product that is innovative, stylish, light weight, collapsable yet durable. We want a unit that is free standing and curtain-less. I would love a stainless steel or aluminum face, but are open to other ideas. We don't want the end product to break the bank when it comes to manufacturing so would like materials to be widely available.
Height - We would like the unit to be at its tallest 70" would like it to have removable sections so height could vary.
Free standing
Collapsable/mobile - END GOAL would love for the entire unit to break down in to ONE 1650 Pelican Case.
Simply assembly - would like this process to go quick, maybe pins/magnets/dovetails maybe power integration from base to components.
Durable - This unit will be on the go, seeing 50-60 party's a year, thats 10,000 - 50,000 potentially drunk people a year and would love to get at least 5 years from it.
Stream line - think of apples clean cut designs, would love for it to feel simple, not threatening.
Products: Specs Available online or upon request.
HITI 510L Printer - needs side access for paper and ink, can only print on a angle of up to 30 degrees, would love for paper to come out on the front under/lower then the screen. the printer can be removable or bolted to unit. (consider break down)
Windows surface tablet - needs to be accessible for touch screen, needs to be mounted flush or minimal clearance for clean design. needs access to power and usb ports from the back.
Camera - standard DSLR camera. would like to have a 77mm UV filter mounted for the camera to touch up against. a dovetail plate would be great to let the camera move back and forth for different lens (up to 8" of slide)
Lights - would like to place LED's and a flash tube on either side of the camera so we will need holes and diffusion plexi/plastic for this as well. we will most likely be making our own boards to mount so there aren't any specs on this yet.
Adjustable angle mount - would like it if the tablet/camera/light were mounted together with a potential of up to 20 degree horizontal tilt. (consider whats behind the faceplate, don't want gaps where fingers can get caught.
Additional Information
We only want to produce something thats original, please see scan of idea. We want it to be a free standing structure, don't worry about backgrounds, people will stand in front of it, with the horizontal tilt the camera can adjust size.
We have finalized our hardware, although we appreciate feedback, we have tested my products over the years. Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you.
Design a product = censer
To take idea about the censer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censer
you can search google to see the ordinary shape of censer.
Main idea:
create a ( new + modern + Sleek + simple ) design for censer.
I will put the inspiration for what I am looking in the next pages.
I need your creativity and your sense of beauty.
Here I not looking for the industrial design, I'm looking for the beauty of the external product design. your output I will give to industrial engineer to fabricated
The requested out put:
The original files
1. High render images for the product from different angles
2. some photos shows the parts combine and other shows the parts uncombined
3. I need also the Palette of the colors you used

Titanium Nails Design
We are Resinbees, a smoking accessories company based in Montreal ,Quebec Canada.We are looking to design a new nail.
The nail is to be placed at the****of a glass pipe and the tip heated with a butane torch till its red hot.We will send the design to be manufacture (Milling Machine) so please be as detailed as possible.Feel free to ask some questions if you need more information.
Whiskey Globes
I’m looking for CAD designs of a spherical ice cube mold that depicts the world map. The mold will be produced using food grade silicone as they’ll be marketed as whiskey ice balls. The ice globes should be embossed with a world map and measure 2.5 inches in diameter including the embossment. The embossment should be raised enough so that the earth will not immediately melt away in a drink.
I have attached pictures of 3D globes as well as the highest rated amazon product of its kind which is also linked below:
