Description:
I am looking for an experienced product designer or mechanical engineer to help bring a medical device concept to life through 3D modeling and prototyping.
This project involves taking an existing concept (sketch + written description) and turning it into a functional 3D CAD model suitable for prototyping (3D printing) and future manufacturing.
Project Scope:
Translate concept into a detailed 3D CAD model
Recommend design improvements for usability and manufacturability
Prepare files for 3D printing (STL/STEP)
Iterate based on feedback (1–3 revisions expected)
About the Device:
Non-electronic
Intended for healthcare/medical use
Focus on ergonomics, safety, and ease of use
Additional details will be shared after NDA
Requirements:
Proven experience in product design or mechanical engineering
Experience designing medical devices or healthcare products strongly preferred
Proficiency in CAD tools such as Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or similar
Understanding of prototyping methods (3D printing, materials, tolerances)
Ability to communicate clearly and suggest improvements
Nice to Have:
Knowledge of FDA design considerations
Experience taking products from concept → prototype → manufacturing
Deliverables:
Final 3D CAD files (STEP + STL)
Source files from your CAD software
Basic guidance on materials and printing recommendations
