Description:
Looking for packaging and industrial design help for a new project. This device will mount to a wall or ceiling in a commercial building. This device enclosure will need to let air into the device to contact up to 5 individual sensors. (See Attachment for general size of components and constraints)Top wants
-Max form factor of 7" wide x 4.5" tall x 1" off wall (electrical box configuration) Wall mount could be up to 2" max off wall
- Attractive look for commercial office or educational buildings in landscape primarily, but also look good in portrait orientation.
- Sensor Status light feature for the entire unit (easy to view, sleek, but not eyesore during general use)
-Sensors need to be retained securely during shipment, but be accessible for replacement later on by unskilled labor.
Other Wants:
From the front look.
Front Bezel attaches to Back housing for periodic sensor replacement (must be easy).
Minimal Profile off wall
Airflow on bottom / side surfaces
Mounts to a 3-Gang electrical box (old & new work boxes & have surface mount option.
Easy installation
Sensors should be towards the bottom of the unit
When bezel is removed, have a place to hang /store the bezel while working on sensor replacement.
I/O should be easily accessible during installation.
I/O should be protected if installer does not use an electrical box.
Easy interface for installers for wiring & wire routing
Mounts to a 3-Gang electrical box & surface mount option
Wants:
Overall Look of the designDevice installation ease
Use of status light in intuitive, unique, and aesthetically pleasing way
Don't Wants:
The design to look like a molded box mounted to the wall. A display
too many components (keep as minimal as possible)
Ask for Sample:
No sample required, but renderings of the product alone in front, back, isometric view. Rendering mounted to a wall with a commercial (bank, office building, etc would be desired)
Software:

This contest start 9/24. It was a 9 day contest. It was then extended by the buyer 3 days because the buyer said that "several designers" asked for an extension, but only one designer submitted an entry in that 3 day extension. It ended Oct. 6th, but yet the contest says it ended Oct 16. The buyer is beyond the CadCrowd limits to select a winner, which mean CadCrowd should have selected a winner by now. What's going on ?
Contest extended but still no option to upload models?
There were a few designers that reached out through private message that were having trouble uploading designs at the las minute. I extended the contest just to give them a chance to submit, we we will start the process of selecting the winner asap so we do not delay the prize. Thank you all for your great designs, it is going to be hard to choose a winner. If you have any last minute please feel free to submit as well. Sorry for the extension, this will be the only one.
Uploading my files, Hope I am on time!!
@galaxyrobotics I will add a logo to the attachments.

hello, can I know objective of this device and working as it has 5 sensors .
Hello, Just one more question:
Is there any logo/branding that you want us to add to the design?
Thanks!

@Anmol Raut - Answers below:
1. We would like 1 status light feature that is visible to the people in the space
2. Let me see what I can find and I will post as attachment
3. The link you sent was for a new work box (new construction), unit must fit in both new work and old work (https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/electrical-boxes-covers/electrical-boxes/carlon-reg-3-gang-55-cu-in-pvc-electrical-switch-outlet-box/b355r/p-1444444964875.htm)

Hello Boxborough ,I have some questions regarding the design
1.How many sensor status light are required ,one light for each sensor? ie total 5 light or a single status light is enough?
2.Can you be more specific with the I/O unit ,is there a reference image to understand it?
3.Can I use the following design for 3-Gang electric box reference https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/electrical-boxes-covers/electrical-boxes/carlon-reg-3-gang-44-cu-in-pvc-electrical-switch-outlet-box/b344ab/p-1444444961827.htm

@Insan both should be on, as long as it can be imported into solid works as a 3D model.
Hi, is AutoCAD or STEP file ok?
@Harry S. - My apologies, The sizing on page 3 was correct, I updated the attament as v2, depth is 0.8"
@RohitT - The material will be plastic
@riom - Solidworks 2019 is ok
@ivani - Solidworks 2018 is ok
@RohitT - The material will be plastic
@riom - Solidworks 2019 is ok
@ivani - Solidworks 2018 is ok
@galaxyRobotics Other softwares ok, if it can port to solidworks.
Looks like the I/O board size incorrect, How can it fit in 2" deep wall box?
Is the material of this box made of plastic?
Hello , is Solidworks 2019 ok ?
Is Solid Works 2018 ok?
For the software, is it okay if we use one other than SolidWorks?
Thanks!
@GalaxyRobotics
Thanks!

Door and Window Security sensor
This is a solar powered door and window sensor, it has very specific PCB and solar cell sizing (see attached files).
The sensor itself will need concealed mounting screws and a flat back so it can be attached also using double stick tape.
It will also need a small magnet in a plastic housing (with a way to mount the magnet) This will mount to the door or window and will trigger the contact when opened or closed.
white plastic should be used for the case, this will be used in a separate application where it may be mounted on a wall without a magnet (different sensor inside) and white is needed for that application. you can use a very slightly frosted lens over the solar cell, but it can also be clear to show the glass from the solar cell. think iphone design or sleek modern looks, it's ok to consume the entire front with solar cell, or to add some space that is not solar cell.
the winner(s) shall provide final tooling drawings in an editable format to our team.
Ground Hole Maker
- Farm implement
- Device to be pulled behind a farm tractor, or hooked up to the 3-point arms of the tractor.
- Desired speed is 3-5 MPH.
- Make a 3" diameter hole, 18" deep in the ground every 6". (holes to be inline)
- Will need to have available space for a fluid tank to be mounted above the implement.
- Will need to be able to tow a trailer behind the unit.
Elecyr Hybrid Energy Storage System
Our products connect directly to solar panels or the grid and store energy to provide power at a later time. They can be interconnected to form a microgrid and share the power collected among multiple systems. Our current product starts at 15kW, weighs about 700lbs and can be expanded to a megawatt. We are developing a family of lower end systems starting at 2500 watts and weighing less than 100 lbs. We're looking for a consistent, modern, clean and attractive look that will bridge the range of products and be sufficiently visually striking to help with our entire company identity. We're looking for a clean functional design that's very simple. Think iPhone and Cuisinart. We also would like to minimize tooling costs and keep the cost of the packaging as low as possible. We have a mechanical design team so we're primarily looking for a conceptual design look rather than a detailed package. I've attached a couple images of our existing power stack and a possible design for the 2.5kW 100 lb unit. 605×330×445 mm (LWH). We are also looking to do a scaled up unit at 5kW that's also portable and a more fixed unit at 8kW that is more like the large system we have now. I've attached a sketch of how that one will assemble internally. Again, we're looking for someone to bring a consistent, recognizable and unique look to the product line while staying very simple and clean.

Swiss Army Knife of Nail Grooming
I'm looking for a compact hand and nail manicuring device. Must include all key elements of hand and nail care:
MUST HAVE - dual-sided buffer/file, integrated cuticle remover lotion/oil storage, nail clippers, cuticle pusher tool, hand lotion storage, parts easily removable and replaceable (buffer/file), lotions/oil compartments easily refillable.
NICE TO HAVE - safety scissors, cuticle trimmer, nail strengthener lotion/pen storage
DIMENSIONS: at or less than (mm) 60LX55WX22H.
MATERIAL: Brushed stainless, carbon fiber, wood, or other eco-friendly and sturdy materials.
