Experienced Sheet-Metal Fabrication Designer Needed
hr AUD 50
About the project
I need a designer with a strong background in sheet-metal fabrication and mechanical engineering to turn my material-handling concepts into shop-ready sheet-metal parts and assemblies. The end product will be industrial equipment used on a manufacturing floor, so everything you model must stand up to repetitive daily use and integrate cleanly with existing conveyors, guards, and support frames. You will start from sketches and verbal specs, translate them into fully detailed 3D models, and finish with clear fabrication drawings complete with bend lines, weld symbols, cut lists, and BOM. DXF file outputs are required for laser cutting. Key points I’ll evaluate: • Efficient nesting and flat-pattern accuracy for laser cutting • Weldments and gussets sized correctly for mild-steel plate and tube • Easy assembly sequence that minimizes jig time on the shop floor • All critical tolerances called out and GD&T applied where needed The workload will be flexible at around 4-6 hours per week on an as-needed basis. Once the first unit is approved, small iterative tweaks may follow, so an organized model tree and configurability are essential. Please share your recent material-handling projects, mention the CAD platform you’ll use, and let’s create gear that rolls straight from drawing to production without surprises.
