Description:
I paid for this design with the expectation that I would use it in a plastic injection mold. However, the manufacturer I selected has told me it won't work in an injection mold. I imagine it has something to do with ear placement, but that's where you guys come in! I need to be sure it will work in an injection mold while keeping the essence of the initial design. Also, you'll notice a circle/hole in the head - that needs to remain.
Wants:
The design needs to be close to what I already have, in a file format that blender can open, that I can then send off to a manufacturer.
Don't Wants:
I probably won't pick you if you diverge too much from the design, but if you have to let your creative juices flow I won't judge. The most important thing here is that it's cute!
Software:
- Blender

You have to rething the approach. It doesn't work the way you have it. The mold parting line will be in the middle, so the ears are on the way. They are too thin too. I am not sure what other people are sending to you but its not manufacturable. The space between ears have to be redesigned or sketched. I can not open a blend file, but if you send me a sketch I can work with you.
Reminder to all submitters: Please let me know what program you used to ensure the design is ready for an injection mold.
.blend file uploaded. I'll be deleting it in a couple of days, so make good use!
send us the .blend format. it will be easy move from that one
The manufacturer didn't tell you the exact part that will cause a problem?
Hi @jenniferm
I am suggesting uploading your blend file so that we can analyze the shape for plastic injection molding. Remodeling the whole elephant will make a deviation from your expected shape.

Also, the elephant is intended to be transparent.
@Martin Arguello this object is going to be 1.25” tall, 1.625” long. It's very small, and meant to be hollow. Hopefully this clears it up!
plz share the blend file and perfect dimensions and rough sketch to get a better idea
Better send .blend file better starting all over ... We just fix issues
Hello Jennifer, glad to see you choose Cadcrowd to solve your design.
In a quick view of the references you give i can tell you that the manufacturer is right, there are several unmolding angle problems in the design as it is.
I will upload a quick analysis of the issues I see and give you a possible solution asap.
I have a couple of question, ¿What are the overal dimensions of the figure? I see it a little bulky for plastic injection. This process usually is used for hollow and thinner pieces.
Is possible that you are confusing injection with rotomolding or other kind of plastic former process?

Training Ball & Sci-Fi Env
I have two models that need to be made for an indie game I'm building. The first is a simple orb thing that levitates and will shoot lasers. The second is a temple training like facility.
Orb:
I'm creating a game that needs a sci-fi training orb that'll levitate around, and fire lasers. I've done a very crude sketch (attached) to help you understand what I'm envisioning.
Temple Environment:
It should feel like a wide open space that also seems a bit "sacred". I've provided another crude drawing of what I'm envisioning. I have a couple of tweaks about it though, I'd like the ceiling to be much higher and there to be pillars holding on the lights instead of them just hanging on the wall. And the windows to be about 75% of their thickness and taller.

CAD design for foam stress toy mould
Hi - We're looking for two designs for lightweight foam/rubber stress toys designed in the shape of a beach sandal AND a house shoe. Your designs will be used to create a mould for both toys.
The size of each shoe toy should be no larger than 5.5cm wide, 12.5cm long, and 5.5cm high. See the attached image for example.
Design of a new Robotic Character t
Hi there,
We are a small robotics startup that develop robotic toys. While we are able to do all the mechanical, electrical and software development, we do not have any artist onboard to make our robots look fantastic! So we are looking for someone with expertise in 3D modeling and product design. This is not a one time gig, we are looking for someone we can collaborate on the long term.
Your job will be quite simple: We will provide you a CAD model and you will have to design around it to make it look nice according to our directions.
For each project, we will expect to first see some sketches (you ll have 1 week for that) and then once we have reviewed them and pick one, you will be designing the 3d model (2 weeks for that).
The first project will be to design the shell of a humanoid robotic toy. Again do not send anything till we have picked someone and provided CAD model and design directions.
In order for us to pick someone we will need two things:
- First, the more robot design you have in your portfolio and you can show us, the better we can appreciate your style and capacities.
- Your hourly rate or per project rate.
We are quite in a hurry to start the first job, so please reply quickly.
Thanks!
