Injection Molding CAD Designer — Convert 3D Mesh to STEP Files (DFM Required)

What You'll Receive

AI-generated 3D mesh file (OBJ format) from Rodin/Tripo
Reference images of the product concept

Notes on which components should be separate parts

Deliverables

Parametric CAD model rebuilt from the reference mesh (not just a converted mesh)
Individual STEP files for each moldable part (housing, faceplate, drip tray, taps, badge, etc.)
Native CAD source file (SolidWorks .sldprt or Fusion 360 .f3d)
Exploded view rendering showing assembly
Brief DFM report noting any concerns or recommendations

Technical Requirements

Wall thickness: 2–3mm (adjust as appropriate per part)
Proper draft angles on all vertical surfaces (1–2° minimum)
Identify and resolve any undercuts
Logical parting lines on each part
Consider snap-fit or screw boss assembly between components
Material assumption: ABS or ABS/PC blend unless you recommend otherwise

Must-Have Qualifications

Proven injection molding design experience (please share examples)
Expert in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Creo, or Inventor
Strong understanding of DFM principles for plastic parts
Experience delivering production-ready ST... read more
