AutoCAD - Sports Equipment Design Project
My business is creating a series of sporting goods made from various types of wood
starting with a putter made from a certain type of wood to be specified later along with metal inserts for weight addition. ball striking insert will be another type of wood to be specified later.
the putting shaft will have to be designed as well
we will include all specs of loft lie and length
Animal (and other) themed kettlebells
This is a competition to design animal (and other) themed kettlebells. It is important that there are no sharp edges and no protruding elements that could cause injury or get stuck on clothing. The design will also need to allow for our logo being evident on the back of the kettlebell. Whilst the logo has been attached, the designers are free to adjust it in size, position, and proportion as they deem suitable.
The size needs to be consistent with a normal sized competition kettlebell, which is easy enough for people to look up but as a rough guide: Handle Diameter: 33MM. Distance Between Handles: 123MM. Base Diameter: 140MM
The actual design can be representative or a bit cartoonish, depending on the aspirations of the designers
Nominated animals include:
A lion, leopard, elephant, rhino (all obviously flattened down in their contours for safety),
shark, eagle, dragons, snake, scorpion, crocodile, bear, wolf, Tyrannosaurus rex, Sabre toothed tiger, spider
This list is a guide and designers are welcome to choose other animals or themes
I do not require any primates and do not require skull designs
Design Improvement of Drip Bucket Holder for Pellet Grills
Attached video shows current design, how it works and desired improvements.
Images show the current products being used to catch oil drippings.
This product is designed to magnetically attach to the side of a pellet grill just under the oil drip spout to hold a foil drip can liner in place as the grill is running reaching very high temperatures. The current working model is functional but needs to be fine tuned to include smaller or collapsible way of being smaller for packaging purposes. My company is called MANFOOD CERTIFIED and it is all about bringing useful grill gadgets to outdoor cooks. This gadget should be low profile simple to use and most importantly make changing the drip bucket oil liner clean and easy.
Concept Donkey Calf Raise Machine
We are holding a design contest to create an innovative new Donkey Calf Raise machine. While many existing models are available, they often feature unappealing aesthetics and overly complicated components. Our goal is to craft a sleek, modern, and futuristic design that stands out visually, is easy to manufacture, and is highly durable. The new machine must support up to 1200 pounds (544 kilograms) and be plate-loaded to accommodate Olympic weight plates.
We are looking for creative, functional designs that break away from traditional Donkey Calf Raise machines. The focus is on enhancing calf training through a distinctive appearance, improved ergonomics, and an elevated user experience. Ultimately, we want a piece of equipment that not only performs exceptionally but also redefines the look and feel of calf training machines.
Please see the link below for a video demonstrating how to use a Donkey Calf Raise machine.
