Core 3D CAD Design Services
Product CAD Modeling:
Creating detailed 3D models of consumer products, industrial parts, machinery, electronics, furniture, etc.
Software: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Inventor, CATIA, Creo, Rhino.
Mechanical & Engineering CAD:
Technical drawings (2D blueprints), GD&T, assembly modeling, mechanism design, sheet metal design, tolerance analysis.
CAD Conversion & Optimization:
Converting 2D sketches/drawings to 3D CAD, file format conversion (e.g., STEP to IGES), mesh-to-CAD, model repair/optimization.
CAD for 3D Printing:
Designing models specifically optimized for additive manufacturing (supports, wall thickness, orientation).
Reverse Engineering CAD:
Creating CAD models from physical objects (using photos, scans, or measurements).
Product Development & Prototyping Services
Prototype Design & Preparation:
3D printable model setup, CNC machining file preparation (toolpaths, G-code), mold design for injection molding.
Physical Prototyping & Manufacturing (Often offered as Gig Extras):
3D Printing: Sellers ship physical prototypes (FDM, SLA, SLS, etc.).
CNC Machining: Production of metal/plastic parts via milling/lathing.
Injection Molding: Low-volume production runs.
Sheet Metal Fabrication: Laser cutting, bending.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Analysis:
Reviewing CAD models for cost-effective production (machining, molding, assembly).
Specialized CAD & Visualization Services
Architectural CAD & BIM:
Technical building/structural drawings, MEP modeling, interior layouts (using Revit, AutoCAD Architecture).
CAD for Games/VR/AR:
Optimized 3D asset creation for real-time engines (Unity, Unreal).
Rendering & Visualization:
Photo-realistic product renders, exploded views, assembly animations from CAD models.
Integrated Product Development Packages
Common Seller Bundles: Many sellers combine services into end-to-end workflows, such as:
Concept → CAD Design → Prototype (3D Printed/CNC) → Production.
Reverse Engineering → CAD Redesign → Manufacturing.
Look for gigs explicitly offering “design + manufacturing” or “full product development”.
