CAD Design Project – Automotive Dashboard Vent Redesign Project Overview I am looking for an experienced CAD designer with automotive product design experience to create a production-ready CAD model for a resin 3D-printed dashboard vent assembly. The project involves 3D scanning an OEM dashboard air vent and redesigning it into a simplified, single-piece assembly capable of integrating an aftermarket product while maintaining an OEM-style appearance. The final design must retain airflow through the vent while removing all unnecessary mechanical components to reduce complexity and improve manufacturability. Scope of Work The successful freelancer will be responsible for: * 3D scanning the supplied OEM dashboard air vent (or working from a scan if discussed). * Creating an accurate CAD model of the vent geometry. * Designing a one-piece replacement vent assembly that: * Incorporates an aftermarket product mounting interface based on the project's established design direction. * Retains functional airflow through the vent. * Removes all unnecessary OEM mechanical components (directional adjustment mechanisms, moving parts, etc.). * Is structurally strong enough for long-term vehicle use. * Is optimised for high-resolution resin 3D printing. * Producing a clean, manufacturable CAD model rather than simply reproducing the original vent. Design Requirements The finished design should: * Be a single-piece component. * Fit into the factory dashboard using the OEM mounting points. * Maintain an OEM-style appearance where visible. * Preserve as much airflow as practical. * Eliminate all moving parts wherever possible. * Be suitable for resin printing with minimal post-processing. * Include appropriate wall thicknesses and structural reinforcement where required. Deliverables The final deliverables should include: * Native CAD files (preferred format: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar). * STEP (.step/.stp) file. * STL file suitable for resin printing. * Any reference files created during the design process. * Commercial ownership * Fitment revisions Ideal Experience Preference will be given to freelancers with experience in: * Automotive interior component design. * Reverse engineering from 3D scans. * CAD for additive manufacturing. * Resin 3D printing design. * Designing production-ready consumer products. Please include examples of similar automotive or reverse engineering projects with your proposal. A signed NDA will be required before detailed design information and product-specific requirements are shared. Future Work This is intended to be the first of several vehicle-specific designs. If the project is successful, there is potential for ongoing work developing similar vehicle-specific interior components for additional models.

Completing a CAD design for an automotive dashboard vent can be tricky, especially when it comes to ensuring airflow while simplifying the assembly. If the vent isn't designed correctly, it can lead to airflow issues or even structural failures down the line. These problems could complicate manufacturing and affect the overall user experience. I can create a streamlined, one-piece CAD model that maintains the OEM-style appearance while integrating aftermarket products seamlessly. My approach focuses on optimizing for 3D printing, ensuring the design is robust and easy to manufacture. I’ll also engage with you throughout the process to make sure every detail aligns with your vision. I have successfully worked on similar automotive projects before and will provide revisions to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the final product. What specific aftermarket product will I need to accommodate in the design? Also, do you have a timeline for when you’d like to see the initial drafts?

Your project requires a production ready automotive component rather than only recreating an OEM vent, so the focus is on accurate reverse engineering, OEM fitment, airflow retention, structural integrity, and a design optimized for high resolution resin printing. I can recreate the vent from a 3D scan, redesign it as a single piece assembly with the required aftermarket mounting interface, retain the factory mounting points, and deliver a manufacturable CAD model in SolidWorks or Fusion 360 along with STEP and resin ready STL files. The design will be prepared for fitment revisions and future vehicle variants. Will the OEM vent be supplied as a physical part for scanning, or will a high quality 3D scan be provided after the NDA is signed?
