Toothbrush design: stainless steel handle refinement + injection-molded replaceable head (3D CAD + DFM) Anyone
About the job
We are an Indian oral-care brand developing a premium manual toothbrush with a stainless steel handle and a replaceable brush head. A first version of the handle is already designed and made in India. We now need a designer to refine it and to design the replaceable head and the fitting between them, as one coherent product.
Scope
1. Handle refinement
- Review our existing handle and improve the shape, grip and ergonomics, and the overall look. Changes should be tweaks to the current design, not a ground-up redesign
- Design the head-socket end of the handle to match the new connector
- Target handle weight about 65g, grade 304 stainless steel
- Finish options (brushed / polished / matte) and any simple grip or branding details, kept easy to manufacture
- Design for manufacturing in stainless steel: wall thickness, forming/machining method, tolerances. We will tell you the process used by our handle maker, and you will work with their feedback
2. Replaceable head (2 sizes)
- Design two head sizes (e.g. standard and compact), each in 3D CAD (SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / NX or similar)
- Bristle layout, tuft hole pattern and neck design, with ergonomic input
- Design for injection molding (DFM): draft, wall thickness, parting lines, gates, ejection. Advise on the tufting method and material for nylon-bristle heads
3. Connector / fitting
- Design the interface between head and handle: secure, easy to replace, mass-producible with realistic tolerances in both st... read more

3. Connector / fitting
- Design the interface between head and handle: secure, easy to replace, mass-producible with realistic tolerances in both steel and plastic
Deliverables
- Native CAD and STEP files for the handle, both heads and the connector, plus the assembly
- 2D drawings with tolerances, and a basic DFM report for both materials
- Rendered images of the final design (KeyShot or similar) for our team review
- 3D-printed prototype fit-check support, so we can test the heads on an actual handle
- Files must pass review by our mold maker and handle manufacturer
Requirements
- Proven experience in injection-molded consumer products AND metal parts. Toothbrush, personal-care or similar is a big plus
- Please share portfolio work and your usual software
- Comfortable iterating with manufacturers' feedback
- Must sign an NDA. Our handle files and drawings will be shared only after that
- We will own all IP and design files on delivery (work-for-hire / IP assignment)
Please include in your proposal: your fixed price (or hourly rate), timeline for concept, first CAD and final files, and 1-2 similar projects you've done. read less
