3 Phase Product Project: Scan /Reverse Engineering Small Product, build and modify CADs and 3D print prototype w/ iteration Anyone

About the job

PHASE 1
We need help reverse engineering our 'long' press-on nail / fake nail product in 3 shapes (almond, square, oval) , which comes in sets of 15, to ~0.01mm precision (please send me the make/model of your scanner).. I've attached photos of the nails for review. The thickest portion is 0.6 mm and the thinest is 0.25. There are curves and tapers we want to capture in detail.

Scan 3 sets of 15 press on nails / reverse engineer and turn in to CADs (tree preserved) to they can (1) be sent to the manufacturer and (2) be printed as testable prototypes

Deliverables:
- 3-45 Scan files
- 45 STEP AP242 files

PHASE 2
In Phase 1 we created scans of 3 sets of our 'long' nails (almond, square and oval). In phase 2 we use those scans to create CADs and algorithmically build 'medium' and 'short' sets of nails for each shape (9 total sets of 15 - i.e. S/M/L in almond, square, oval)

Deliverables:
- 90 additional STEP AP242 files
- FEA stress reports for shortest variants

PHASE 3
Once we have all 9 sets of nails digitized, we need to prototype them (such as with a 3D printer) to make sure they are what we're looking for, iterating as necessary.

Deliverables:
- 135 physical prototypes: 3 shapes (almond, squal, oval) x 3 sets (short, medium, long) of 15

Our end goal is to lock the CADs and send them to our manufacturer so they can built the molds.

Can you share:
- Example of scaled micro-components with validation reports?... read more

Can you share:

- Your working process?

Ideally we can work with the same person do all three phases but we are open to split it up based on capability! read less
