I will design your plastic product with dfm principles


About this gig
I specialize in plastic product design with manufacturability in mind. Every design I create considers real-world injection molding constraints so your product won't just look good, it will be makeable.
DFM principles I apply:
Uniform wall thickness (1.5-3mm)
Proper draft angles for easy ejection
Radii at corners to reduce stress
Gate placement considerations
Snap-fit and living hinge design
Deliverables:
- 3D CAD model (.ipt, .step, .stl)
- Technical drawings with tolerances
- Renders for presentation
- Basic DFM notes (Standard & Premium)
Message me your idea and I'll tell you exactly what I can do.

FAQ
What is DFM?
Design for Manufacturing — designing your product so it can actually be made efficiently and cost-effectively. I apply basic DFM principles to every design.
Can you design snap-fit connections?
Yes, I have experience with cantilever snap-fits, torsional snaps, and living hinges.
Do you work with specific materials?
Yes, I can design for ABS, PP, PC, Nylon, and other common injection molding materials.
Do you work with SolidWorks?
I specialize in Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360. I can export to .step format which is compatible with any CAD software, including SolidWorks.
What do you need from me to start?
A sketch, photo, description, or even a rough idea. The more detail you provide, the better the result.
