Industrial Machine Enclosure Extension Design

About the project

Project Short Description: We need an experienced Sheet Metal Design / Mechanical Engineer to design a 3D CAD model and production-ready 2D DXF flat patterns for an industrial machinery enclosure extension. We are expanding the back of a fully-assembled machine to turn it into a single, unified "All-in-One" mobile workstation. Core Requirements & Specifications • Chassis Envelope Dimensions: Height: 1418 mm, Width: 766 mm. • Extension Parameters: 450 mm depth extension added directly to the rear. The width must match the existing 766 mm profile perfectly for a zero-gap, flush appearance. • Unified Heavy-Duty Base: The entire combined unit will sit over a new, single continuous C-channel steel base frame supported by exactly four heavy-duty outer corner caster wheels. • Structural Top Lifting Hooks: Integrate four heavy-duty crane lifting hooks on the top corners, structurally tied straight down to internal load-bearing vertical columns. The top cooling exhaust fan of the machine must remain completely open. • Vertical Multi-Tier Stacking: • Top Tier: Front-facing control console with cutouts for a 10-inch touchscreen display and an electrical breaker window. • Middle Tier: An internal shelf for a mechanical unit resting on rubber vibration isolators. • Bottom Tier: Compartment for heavy power modules with rear ventilation mesh. • Concealed Side Vault Compartment: The right side-wall panel requires a recessed, dust-tight cabinet with a flush-locking door. Inside, it must house a secure clamping holster for a manual gun tool and a 350mm diameter mandrel spool to coil 20 meters of heavy umbilical cable safely. • Material Constraints: 1.5 mm (16-Gauge) Mild Steel. Flat layouts must account for standard air-bending bend deductions. Final Deliverables Required • Complete 3D CAD files (SolidWorks / STEP / IGES formats). • Production-ready 2D DXF flat patterns for CNC laser cutting and press brake bending.
