African Food Packaging Machine (Manually operated)
I'm looking for someone who a can conceptualize, design, make 3D model and make animation of the packaging machine for an African traditional food packing method as shown in attached video. In which, for a single cycle we just have to put the leaves one on another in machine and feed the food somewhere so that it can be laid on to the leaves and then rest of the packaging process be carried out by machine itself while operated manually. The final packaging should look as close to the original hand packaging as possible. The machine should be manually operated and not electric one.
Head Halo
This challenge is to create a CAD file that I can use to 3D print the item. Would also love to have a few images that can be used for a presentation. Attached is a design that I created in Word
Whimsy Stick Clasp System
We are looking for innovative design solutions for a secure and user-friendly clasp system to attach a squirrel plush toy to the Whimsy Stick, a dog toy. The current method involves tying a Palomar knot, which can come undone and may be cumbersome for users to retie. The new system should be easy to use, reliable, and durable enough to withstand frequent use and the vigorous play of dogs.
I NEED HELP.
I need help creating a sketch. I'm not a good drawer I need a drawing of a pulley A/C compressor. When the pulley AC compressor turns it runs normal. But when turned off a mechinal ball pushes up allowing the pulley belt to turn freely.
Paint machine automation
Founding Mechanical / Robotics Engineer (Equity-Based – 10%)
Project: AI-Powered Suspended Exterior Paint Automation System
We are building an automated exterior building paint system — a cable-suspended robotic machine that paints high-rise buildings safely, uniformly, and faster than manual labor.
The system will:
Be suspended from rooftop anchors
Use motorized cable control for vertical & horizontal movement
Include automated spray arms
Use computer vision for surface detection
Optimize paint thickness & material usage using AI
This solution addresses:
High labor costs
Safety risks in high-rise painting
Inconsistent finish quality
Project delays in real estate
🎯 Our Goal
To build a prototype within 6–9 months and pilot it on residential/commercial buildings.
Long-term vision:
Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) for developers
Expansion into facade cleaning, waterproofing, and maintenance
AI-driven surface inspection platform
🧠 Role: Founding Engineer (Remote – Equity Based)
We are looking for a highly driven engineer who wants to build a deep-tech startup from scratch.
This is an early-stage role offering:
💼 Compensation:
10% Equity (Founding Team Member)
Remote Work
Milestone-based vesting
Future salary post-funding
🛠 Responsibilities
Phase 1 – Concept & Design
Mechanical design of suspended cable-based paint robot
CAD drawings & structural simulation
Selection of motors, cables, stabilizers, spray systems
Stability modeling (wind resistance, sway reduction)
Phase 2 – Prototype Development
Prototype build planning
Vendor sourcing
Testing & calibration
Paint spray consistency control
Phase 3 – AI & Automation Integration
Camera-based wall detection
Obstacle detection (windows, AC units, balconies)
Surface area mapping
Automated paint thickness optimization
Phase 4 – Field Testing
On-site test coordination
Performance measurement
Iterative improvements
📦 Scope of Work Clarification
You asked:
Are designs for prototypes, drawings, marketing, construction included?
Here is how we define it:
✅ Included in Engineering Role:
Mechanical prototype design
CAD & technical drawings
Structural calculations
Component selection
Functional testing design
Automation architecture input
❌ Not Primary Responsibility:
Marketing materials
Sales execution
Fundraising decks (support may be requested)
Construction contracting work
However, as a founding member, you may contribute to strategy discussions.
🏗 What the System Will Likely Include
Multi-cable stabilization system
Telescopic spray arm
Adjustable nozzle pressure control
Paint flow sensor system
Wind speed sensors
AI-controlled movement grid
Rooftop anchor docking station
Future upgrade:
Facade crack detection
Waterproof coating mode
Cleaning mode
🌍 Why This Matters
The real estate industry still relies heavily on:
Manual suspended labor
Scaffolding
Risk-prone rope access workers
Our system aims to:
Reduce labor cost by 40–60%
Increase safety
Reduce paint wastage
Deliver consistent finish quality
Shorten project timelines
