Industrial Designer for Consumer Product Development

About the project

Product Design & CAD Development – Consumer Product (NDA Required) Project Overview I am developing an innovative consumer product and am looking for an experienced industrial product designer and mechanical CAD engineer to help transform an existing concept into a professional, production-ready design. The product has already been conceptually developed, but I require an expert to refine the design, improve usability, simplify manufacturing, and prepare it for prototyping and future mass production. An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) must be signed before the full concept and supporting materials are shared. Scope of Work The successful freelancer will be expected to: * Review and improve an existing product concept. * Create a modern, premium industrial design. * Design all mechanical components and assemblies. * Simplify the design to minimise the number of parts. * Ensure the product is reliable, durable, and user-friendly. * Design with both prototyping and mass manufacturing in mind. * Optimise the product for injection moulding and assembly. * Produce high-quality CAD models suitable for engineering and manufacturing. * Advise on suitable materials and manufacturing methods where appropriate. Deliverables The final deliverables should include: * Complete 3D CAD assembly. * Individual CAD files for every component. * Engineering/manufacturing drawings. * Exploded assembly drawings. * Photorealistic renders. * STEP files. * STL files for prototype production. * Bill of Materials (BOM). * Design suitable for future production. Skills Required Applicants should have experience in: * Industrial product design. * Mechanical engineering. * Consumer product development. * CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Siemens NX, or equivalent). * Design for Manufacture (DFM). * Design for Assembly (DFA). * Injection moulded products. * Prototype development. Application Please provide: * Examples of previous consumer products you have designed. * Your preferred CAD software. * Your estimated project timeline. * Your fixed-price or hourly proposal. This project has the potential to develop into a long-term collaboration covering prototype iterations, testing, manufacturing support, and future product development.
