We are seeking a U.S.-based CAD professional to receive physical samples, take accurate measurements, and prepare manufacturing drawings for slip-on adapters. We will provide detached firearm barrels as measurement references and a few existing 2D adapter drawings as templates. Only detached barrels will be supplied—not complete firearms, frames, or receivers. The drawings are for the adapters, not for manufacturing barrels. Scope: * Receive, safely handle, and return supplied samples. * Measure and document relevant exterior geometry. * Prepare adapter designs and drawings using our reference drawings and project requirements. * Identify missing information or inconsistencies before proceeding. * Deliver fully editable native CAD files with sketches, features, and design history retained—not just exported STEP files. * Provide fully dimensioned PDF/DWG manufacturing drawings with appropriate GD&T. Requirements: * Located in the United States and able to receive and return samples domestically. * Hands-on precision-measurement experience and appropriate equipment. * Experience with CNC-machined components, fits, tolerances, and GD&T. * Fusion 360 preferred; please identify your primary CAD software and native file format. * Willing to sign our NDA before receiving project materials. We anticipate starting with a small paid assignment, with potential for ongoing work. Fixed pricing per component or batch is preferred, with scope and deliverables agreed before starting. Please include your U.S. location, measurement equipment, relevant drawing samples, CAD software, typical turnaround, and whether you offer project-based pricing

Hello, I’m a U.S.-based CAD professional with experience in precision measurement, CNC-machined components, fits, tolerances, and GD&T documentation. I can safely measure the detached barrel samples, document the relevant exterior geometry, and develop accurate slip-on adapter designs using your reference drawings and project requirements. I will retain the complete native CAD design history, sketches, and features rather than providing only exported STEP files, and I can deliver fully dimensioned PDF/DWG manufacturing drawings. My workflow includes checking sample measurements, identifying missing information, and confirming critical fits and tolerances before finalizing each component. I am comfortable signing an NDA, receiving and returning samples domestically, and working on a fixed-price basis per component or batch. Please share your preferred CAD format, sample quantity, drawing templates, required tolerances, and target turnaround so I can provide a detailed quote and project plan.

Hi there, I’m a Mechanical Engineer experienced in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, precision CAD, CNC-machined components, fits, tolerances, GD&T, and manufacturing drawings. I can create accurate parametric models and fully dimensioned production drawings while maintaining the native design history and editable features. I’m comfortable working from physical measurements and reference drawings, checking dimensions for consistency, and developing manufacturing-ready CAD with appropriate tolerances and GD&T. I should note that I’m based in India rather than the U.S., so I would not meet the requirement to receive and return physical samples domestically. However, if you can provide measurement data or scanned/reference geometry, I can handle the CAD and drawing development remotely. Best regards

The risk is accurate exterior geometry measurement from physical samples, then translating that to manufacturing drawings. I handle this by directly measuring samples and then building the adapter design in AutoCAD, referencing your existing 2D drawings. You get fully editable native CAD files showing sketches and features. What finish are the provided sample barrels? Send the sample barrels. 5.0 rating across 10 reviews on here, and Preferred Freelancer status.
