DFM Review & CAD Refinement for 6-Part Injection-Molded Slide Viewer Ended

About the job

I am looking for a skilled CAD designer with injection molding and DFM experience to refine my existing non-professional, first-pass design of a simple six-part slide viewer.

The intended materials are ABS and polycarbonate, so experience designing for these materials and their specific manufacturing constraints is essential.

Primary goals:

- Recreate the parts in your CAD system of choice (FreeCAD source files with full parametric history will be provided)

- Apply proper DFM principles for injection molding (draft, wall thickness, fillets, ribs, parting considerations, etc.)

- Identify and explicitly call out any features that should change to improve manufacturability, tooling simplicity, or cost

- Ensure all parts assemble correctly after DFM adjustments

This is not a concept design task — the intent is to prepare the design for injection molding and tooling review.

I’ve attached photos of a commercially available product in the same category to illustrate the general concept and form factor only. This is provided for context, not as a design to copy.
