CAD Designer — Silicone Consumer Product, Embedded Insert + Complex Geometry (NDA Required Before Details)
I'm developing a patent-pending consumer home product made from food-grade silicone with a pre-installed embedded metal insert. It's in a well-established consumer hardware category. Full product renders, patent figures, detailed measurement charts, and a complete CAD brief are ready — but shared only after NDA. SCOPE (Phase 1 — 3 shapes)
- 3D STEP files per shape (AP214, millimetres, solid body)
- Native CAD file (SolidWorks or Fusion 360)
- 2D technical drawing PDF per shape — all dimensions, tolerances, material callouts, insert pocket detail
- One shape involves a cap-over-stem geometry requiring your split-line recommendation before modeling begins
✅ SKILLS REQUIRED
- Professional CAD — SolidWorks preferred, Fusion 360 accepted
- Silicone, rubber, or soft-goods product experience
- Overmolding and embedded insert cavity design
- Mold split-line and parting line experience (essential)
- STEP AP214 export for manufacturer submission
NDA + IP ASSIGNMENT — MANDATORY This is a patent-pending product. A Non-Disclosure and IP Assignment Agreement must be signed before any project files, product name, or dimensions are shared. All work product belongs to me as client. $200–$400 for Phase 1. Follow-on phases available for the right designer. To apply, please share:
- 2–3 examples of silicone or rubber product CAD work
- Your CAD software of choice
- Confirmation you are comfortable signing NDA/IP assignment before project start
