📋 Project Details
Project Overview
I need a skilled CAD designer to create a custom component for our CNC lathe machine. The existing part is a 3-axis lathe head assembly with a complex gear system. I have the initial 2D drawings and a 3D CAD model, but they're outdated and require significant revisions. The new design should improve the component's durability and efficiency. The deliverables include: 1) updated 2D drawings in AutoCAD, 2) a new 3D CAD model in SolidWorks, and 3) a manufacturing report with material requirements and production costs. The project should be completed within 4 weeks, with regular updates and a final presentation of the design.
