3D Modeler for Realistic Baitfish Lure (Organic Sculpting for 3D Printing) Anyone

🇨🇦 About Forageform LuresForageform Lures is a new, Canadian-based swimbait company committed to producing top-tier, precision-engineered fishing lures. Our mission is to bypass the traditional development hurdles of graphic design and sculpting to create highly realistic, effective baits built to the exacting standards required by modern, high-volume lure manufacturers. We are looking to establish a long-term partnership with a specialist who understands that precision CAD work is the foundation for an entire product line.We are seeking a seasoned mechanical/CAD professional to collaborate on the critical first phase: turning our existing design concepts and dimensions into a flawless, mold-ready master pattern—a step that is vital to minimizing waste in our mold-making process.🎯 The Project: Flawless, Mold-Ready Master PatternWe require an experienced professional to deliver a complete package that includes both the final digital CAD files and a physical, high-gloss master pattern for our first flagship lure, the Flatnose Fin Paddletail.I. Required DeliverablesDeliverableRequirementRationale1. Digital CAD FilesFinalized, dimensionally accurate 3D model files (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360, STEP/IGES) of the lure body.Required for mold creation; the digital blueprint of our product.2. Physical Master PatternOne 3D printed model with a Class A surface finish—mirror-like and high-gloss.Must be suitable for direct use in platinum-cure silicone mold making with zero post-print preparation required by us.II. Specific Lure Dimensions & Quality MandateSpecificationDetailLure ModelFlatnose Fin PaddletailDimensions10 inches Long x 1.8 inches Wide x 3.8 inches TallPrint QualityPrinted at 50 microns (0.05 mm) layer height or finer using a high-temp UV resin.Finish MandateRequires professional wet sanding and polishing to ensure no layer lines, support dimples, or surface imperfections that could cause waste in mold production.💰 Financial & Collaboration DetailsCurrency & BudgetCurrency Requirement: All quotes and final payment must be stated clearly in Canadian Dollars (CAD). If your original quote was in another currency (e.g., USD), please provide the converted CAD total.Total Cost: The quoted price must be a fixed rate covering the entire scope: CAD file creation + Physical 3D Print/Finish + Shipping. This total must align with our specific budget for this project.Payment: Payment will be made in full upon my final review to confirm the digital files and physical master pattern meet the requested specifications and quality standards.Timeline & CommunicationDeadline: The final completed package (digital files and physical master) is required by the end of the current month.Communication Style: I am still learning the nuances of working with international freelancers, so all communication will be asynchronous via messaging or email only. I cannot accommodate real-time calls due to time zone differences. Your patience and ability to communicate clearly via text are essential to saving time and avoiding risk.Future OpportunitySuccessfully completing this initial project on time and to the required quality will lead to further contracts for the remaining versions of the swimbait lineup (e.g., 7-inch version, T-Tail variations). We are seeking a reliable partner for the long haul.We will move forward with candidates who can verify with certainty that they can deliver the finalized CAD files and the flawless physical master pattern by the deadline for a fixed price in CAD. read less
