I currently produce this item in the UK using recycled plast [stokbord] but want to redesign it lighter and cheaper. I have images and startin specifications of the product that will be produced via plastic vacuum extrusion. What I need now is a professional translation of those ideas into production-ready data. Your task is to turn my approximate dimensions and notes into: • A fully detailed 3D model (STEP/STP format) suitable for toolmakers • Dimensioned technical drawings that clearly specify wall thicknesses, draft angles and any undercuts required for the extrusion process I will supply scans of the sketches and a brief explaining functional requirements, target material and finish. You will refine the geometry, advise on manufacturability and iterate with me until everything is ready for the factory. Acceptance criteria: • STEP/STP file opens cleanly in SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or similar with no feature errors • 2D drawings include front, side, section and exploded views where needed, with tolerances called out • All critical measurements confirmed in writing before sign-off If you have experience designing consumer products for vacuum forming/extrusion, I’d love to see examples. Let’s get this prototype locked down and off to production.
