Industrial / Product Designer – 3D CAD & Master Mold Development Anyone

Job Description

We are looking for a detail-oriented industrial/product designer or 3D CAD designer to professionally develop a collection of custom-designed candle and lifestyle products into accurate, production-ready 3D models and 3D-printable master molds.

We have developed the initial concepts and will provide reference images, dimensions, and design requirements. The designer will be responsible for translating these designs into precise 3D models while maintaining the intended minimal aesthetic, proportions, and details.

The attached image is provided for reference only and does not represent the final product models.

Products to Be Developed

The project includes:
- 3 similar candle jar models with matching lids, developed in different sizes
- 1 tray model, developed in different sizes
- 4 tapper candle holders
- 2 tapper candle models, developed in 4 different sizes
- 1 match jar
- 1 incense holder
- 1 sage burner

The different sizes should be developed from their respective base designs while maintaining consistent proportions, details, and overall design language.

Required Deliverables

For each product and each size, we require:
1. The final 3D product model — accurately representing the physical product.
2. 3D-printable master model — a version specifically prepared to be 3D printed and used as the master for creating the silicone production mold.

All final files must be delivered in STL format.

The master mold files are particularly important. They must be properly prepared for 3D printing and silicone mold-making, rather than simply being a duplicate of the product model.

Scope & Requirements

The designer should:
- Create accurate 3D models based on our reference designs and dimensions.
- Preserve the original design intent and minimal aesthetic.
- Develop all required size variations accurately and consistently.
- Create a 3D-printable master mold for every product and size.
- Ensure all models are watertight, clean, and free of geometry errors.
- Consider appropriate wall thicknesses, tolerances, draft angles, parting/mold considerations, and surface quality where necessary.
- Ensure the master files are suitable for actual 3D printing and subsequent silicone mold production.
- Deliver well-organized and clearly named STL files for both the product models and their corresponding master molds.

Attention to detail is extremely important for this project. These files will be used for actual physical production, not simply for visualization or rendering, so the models need to be both visually accurate and technically manufacturable.

Please provide examples of previous work in industrial/product design, CAD modeling, 3D printing, mold-making, casting, or similar manufacturing projects. Experience with candle vessels, homeware, or similar consumer products is a strong advantage. read less
