3D CAD Design for Plastic Manufacturing – Convert Photo/Sample to .STEP File Anyone

About the job

I need a skilled 3D CAD designer to reverse-engineer a physical, T-shaped plastic paddle from a reference photo and convert it into a production-ready 3D model. This part is being designed for high-volume plastic injection molding (target run of 50,000 units with a manufacturer in India).Scope of Work:3D Modeling: Create a clean 3D model of the custom T-shaped paddle based on the reference photo and dimension measurements I will provide.Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Ensure the model is optimized for plastic injection molding (include appropriate draft angles/slight tapers to allow for smooth mold ejection, uniform wall thicknesses, and no sharp inner corners that could trap air).Technical Drawing: Provide a clean 2D PDF engineering drawing with all clear annotations and dimensional tolerances in millimeters (mm).Required Deliverables:3D Production Files: Standard exchange formats ([ .STEP ] and [ .IGS ]) compatible with toolrooms and CNC mold-making machinery.Visualization File: A [ .STL ] or .OBJ file for quick reference.2D Blueprint: A detailed [ .PDF ] with full dimensions and millimeter scales.What I will provide:A clear, high-resolution front-facing photo of the physical paddle sample.The exact, hand-measured millimeter (mm) dimensions for the total length, horizontal cross-bar width, and overall material thickness.Ideal Freelancer Profile:Strong experience in Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, or Sheet/Molded Plastics.Expertise in industry-standard software (S... read more
