Project title:
Clean rebuild of working 3D prototype into production-ready CAD
Posted by:
External project from PeoplePerHour

Description:
I’m looking for an experienced CAD engineer or product designer to take my existing 3D design files and rebuild them properly from scratch, ready for production in metal.

Background
• I designed all parts myself and have already validated the functionality by 3D printing and physical testing
• Everything works, but the CAD files are crude and not production-ready
• Tolerances are largely guesswork
• Parts were developed iteratively by adding and removing features, so many models are a hodgepodge rather than clean parametric designs

What I need
• Recreate all parts cleanly in a professional CAD system
• Apply sensible, engineering-grade tolerances suitable for CNC machining in aluminium
• Produce fully constrained, parametric models
• Assemble parts where appropriate to check fit and function
• Deliver clean STEP (STP) files suitable for manufacture

Workflow
• I would want to 3D print the rebuilt parts first to validate everything before committing to metal
• Expect some iteration after first review/print
• I can supply existing STL/STEP files, photos, and functional explanations

Ideal candidate
• Strong mechanical CAD experience (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, Creo, or similar)
• Comfortable designing for CNC machining in aluminium
• Able to think like an engineer, not just redraw geometry
• Experience rebuilding rough prototypes into production-ready designs

Please reply with
• Brief overview of your relevant experience
• CAD software used
• Examples of similar “prototype to production” work

This is a serious engineering tidy-up rather than a simple file conversion, and I’m looking for someone who enjoys turning working prototypes into elegant, manufacturable designs.

Next steps
Once I’ve reviewed responses and shortlisted suitable candidates, I will ask for a simple NDA to be signed before sharing any detailed files, drawings, or samples.
