I will design folding mechanisms, hinges andd locking linkages for manufacturing


About this gig
Need a folding mechanism that opens smoothly, locks securely and can actually be manufactured?
I design folding mechanisms, hinges, locking linkages and moving assemblies in SolidWorks for products, furniture, equipment and prototypes. I focus on compact folding geometry, clearances, reliable locking and practical manufacturing.
What I Offer
- Folding mechanism design
- Custom hinge development
- Locking and latch systems
- Multi link folding assemblies
- Motion and interference checks
- Compact folded-position optimization
- STEP and SolidWorks source files
- GD&T drawings and BOM
Why Choose Me
- Functional motion-focused design
- Accurate pivots and clearances
- Manufacturing aware CAD
- Parametric editable assemblies
- Practical locking solutions
- Clear technical communication
Tools I Use
- SolidWorks
- Creo
- Fusion 360

FAQ
Can you start immediately?
Yes. Send your mechanism requirements first so I can review the complexity and correct package.
What information should I provide?
Send sketches, dimensions, open/folded positions, reference images and any existing CAD files.
Can you design the folding mechanism from only an idea?
Yes. I can develop mechanism concepts from sketches, photos, descriptions or functional requirements.
Can you design a locking system as well?
Yes. I can incorporate latches, locking links, pins, over-center concepts or other appropriate locking methods.
Can you check for collisions and pinch points?
Yes. Motion and interference checks can be used to identify clashes and problematic movement areas.
Do you provide editable source files?
Yes. SLDPRT, SLDASM and STEP files can be included depending on the package.
Can you prepare the design for manufacturing?
Yes. Premium work can include GD&T drawings, BOM, tolerances and manufacturing-focused CAD.
