JOB OVERVIEW

Industrial Product Designer / 3D CAD Specialist – Consumer Product Development

Job Type: Project-Based / Freelance
Location: Remote
Compensation: Negotiable based on experience and project scope

About the Project

I'm developing a premium, luxury golf accessory that I plan to manufacture and sell commercially.

I have already created detailed photorealistic product renderings showing the intended design from multiple angles. I am now looking for an experienced **industrial designer or mechanical CAD specialist** who can transform these renderings into an accurate, professional, and manufacturable 3D CAD model.

This is a real product development project, not simply a 3D rendering exercise.

The product consists primarily of a sculpted hardwood body, custom brass components, and an integrated cleaning brush.

What You'll Be Doing

- Study reference renderings and translate the design into accurate 3D CAD geometry.
- Reconcile inconsistencies between different reference views.
- Preserve the original design's appearance, proportions, curvature, and detailed craftsmanship.
- Develop realistic dimensions, cross-sections, and component relationships.
- Model a sculpted wooden body with curved surfaces and carefully beveled edges.
- Design mounting provisions for brass components, fasteners, and brush bristles.
- Identify potential manufacturing challenges and recommend practical solutions.
- Prepare editable CAD files and professional technical drawings for prototyping and eventual manufacturing.

Required Qualifications

- Strong experience with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or comparable professional CAD software.
- Experience with industrial design, mechanical design, or physical consumer product development.
- Strong ability to create complex curved surfaces, sculpted bodies, and precise solid models.
- Understanding of materials, mechanical connections, assembly methods, and manufacturing constraints.
- Ability to translate product images and concept renderings into physically realistic 3D models.
- Attention to detail and the ability to preserve the aesthetics of an existing design.

**Experience with CNC machining, woodworking, metal components, or luxury consumer products is a major plus.**

Project Deliverables

The project will be divided into two stages.

Stage 1 — Exterior Design and 3D Modeling

- Develop a precise 3D model from the provided reference images.
- Establish consistent dimensions and geometry.
- Reproduce the original sculpted shape and overall appearance as closely as practical.
- Provide multiple views of the model for review.
- Make agreed-upon revisions until the exterior design is approved.
- Deliver the editable native CAD model and STEP file.

Stage 2 — Detailed Engineering and Manufacturing Preparation**

- Finalize individual component geometry and mounting details.
- Develop the product assembly.
- Produce dimensioned engineering drawings and cross-sections.
- Prepare native CAD, STEP, and STL files.
- Identify any unresolved manufacturing or prototyping requirements.

The initial contract will focus on Stage 1. Stage 2 may be awarded after satisfactory completion of the first stage.

Important Design Requirement

I am very particular about preserving the original product's appearance.

I do not want someone who will simplify the design into a generic shape just because it is easier to model.

The ideal candidate can balance aesthetics, mechanical accuracy, and manufacturability.

I will provide all available reference images, preliminary dimensions, and previous design notes.

How to Apply

Please include the following in your application:

1. A portfolio showing **3D CAD models of actual physical products** you have designed, preferably including curved or sculpted surfaces.
2. Which CAD software you use and your level of experience with it.
3. Examples of any products you've designed that were successfully prototyped or manufactured.
4. Your estimated price and timeline for Stage 1.
5. A brief explanation of how you would approach converting product renderings into accurate, manufacturable CAD geometry.

Please begin your application with the words "Golf Product CAD" so I know you've read the full description.**

I'm looking for someone who can deliver high-quality work and potentially collaborate on additional product development projects in the future.
