3D Part File Conversion and Modification for Injection Molding Prototype

The purpose of this project is to convert CAD files from FreeCad, STL, or STEP formats into SolidWorks objects and subsequently make necessary modifications to prepare the part for injection molding. The selected individual must possess proficiency in SolidWorks and a deep understanding of the specific requirements for designing parts suitable for injection molding processes. **Technical Requirements:** 1. **File Conversion:** - The individual should be capable of converting CAD files from FreeCad, STL, or STEP formats into SolidWorks compatible formats (e.g., SLDPRT, SLDASM). 2. **SolidWorks Proficiency:** - The candidate must have a strong command of SolidWorks, including the ability to create and manipulate 3D models, assemblies, and drawings. 3. **Injection Molding Expertise:** - The individual should demonstrate a thorough understanding of injection molding processes, including knowledge of draft angles, wall thickness, and other design considerations for successful injection molding. 4. **Modifications for Injection Molding:** - Modify the SolidWorks object to meet the requirements for injection molding, including: - Adding draft angles to the part as necessary. - Ensuring uniform wall thickness throughout the part. - Incorporating fillets and radii to reduce stress concentrations. - Designing and adding canonical holes and slits as required for injection molding, including alignment and spacing considerations. 5. **File Compatibility:** - Ensure that all converted and modified files are saved in a compatible SolidWorks version (e.g., SolidWorks 20XX). 6. **Communication:** - Maintain open and effective communication with the project manager or team to discuss progress, challenges, and any design revisions that may be required. 7. **Timeline:** - Provide a realistic timeline for completing the file conversion and modification tasks, taking into account project deadlines and milestones. 8. **Confidentiality:** - Ensure the utmost confidentiality and security of all project-related files and information. 9. **Experience and Portfolio:** - Provide evidence of prior experience working on similar projects and a portfolio showcasing completed projects related to SolidWorks design for injection molding. 10. **Software and Hardware:** - Possess access to necessary hardware and software, including a licensed version of SolidWorks, to complete the tasks efficiently. **Deliverables:** Upon successful completion of the project, the individual should deliver the following: 1. SolidWorks files (.SLDPRT, .SLDASM) of the modified part including STL and STEP files. **Note:** The selected individual should be prepared to collaborate closely with the project team, incorporating feedback and making adjustments as required to ensure the final design is optimized for injection molding and aligns with project goals.
