I have been working on finalizing my prototype and now need to have a multi view full dimensioned drawing before I can have the product manufactured. For one drawing I figured it'd be less expensive and time consuming to have someone design this rather thanbuy the package and learn the system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
when i worked in racing we used to have a saying "it's just 4 bolts" because the bossman always thought putting these race cars together was a fast simple task. We always ended up working 24+ hours straight chanting "it's only 4 bolts".
I would also say that some sort of tolerance stack up analysis or understanding of critical geometry would be necessary so that said prototype isn't extremely expensive to have made but that it also will fit/function how it is designed to.
I am unable to do any freelance work but good luck!
If your prototype has more than one part to it (that needs to be manufactured vs. purchased) then you'll need more than just one drawing.
Furthermore, Re: "or point me in the right direction to find this service?"
Nearly any VAR I know of should be able to charge you money to do this for you. So can SolidBox. Rate / results / timeframe unknown.
I'm intrigued.............

Hi everyone, Thank you for the replies. It's clear I need to be a bit more elaborate about what I'm asking for. Fortunately I did find some engineers local who are already working on the renders. I appreciate all of the feedback and wish the best for everyone. Thanks,
Before anyone offers help, you should answer some questions to clarify your request.
"I have been working on finalizing my prototype"
Working with what software? What do you have to pass along? A Part, Assembly, model, IGES, STEP, DWG, or a napkin sketch?
Do you need someone to model this for you? If so, how can someone else do this without a full dimensioned drawing in the first place? Is it large? Is it complicated? Is it a single body? What material(s)? What manufacturing processes? What surface finishes? Does it involve a specialty: weldments, surfacing, plastic molding, electronics, flow simulation? How soon is it needed?
Although this is not something I would help with, those who would will surely need to understand what you are asking of them. Any or all questions above may apply, and can be exchanged without revealing the complete details of your prototype before you reach an NDA with a contractor. Do you have or require an NDA?
