I have a 65% keyboard concept that now needs a production-ready 3D model. The case will be milled from aerospace-grade aluminum (7075‑T6), so wall thicknesses, draft angles, and all machining clearances have to be spot-on; a single oversight could turn a full run into scrap. I have the main design completed. I’m looking for someone to work on minor adjustments to the board. (i.e. adding standoffs for the interior of the keyboard and edits to dimensions). I will provide the .stl file that needs to be adjusted. This board targets custom-build enthusiasts, which means tight tolerances, clean acoustic chambers, and interior geometry that welcomes foam or silicone dampening without rattles. The finished files should let any CNC house move straight to prototyping and then mass production. Deliverables I need from you • Native CAD file (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, or equivalent) ~ Please choose one that works best for you. • Universal STEP/IGES plus STL for quick print checks • Manufacturing drawings with critical dimensions, tolerances, and surface-finish notes • Exploded view and renderings for marketing shots • Brief DfM report outlining how the design avoids common aluminum-milling pitfalls Timeline: everything wrapped within the next 20 days including a round of revisions prompted by prototype feedback if necessary. When you respond, please include links or images of past aluminum keyboard cases—or similarly complex machined enclosures—describe your experience with aerospace alloys, and outline your modeling workflow in enough detail that I can see you’ve thought through tool paths, fixtures, and post-processing. A concise milestone plan is a plus. I’ll review portfolios, technical approach, and proposal depth before making a decision. Let’s make a flawless, enthusiast-grade case that a machinist can cut with confidence. The picture of what the final product will look like is attached to to this posting.

Hi, your project is a strong fit for my background in mechanical product design and production-ready CAD development. I work directly in SolidWorks and CATIA, and for a keyboard case machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, I would approach this as a manufacturability-focused engineering task rather than a simple STL edit. At this stage, details such as wall consistency, internal clearances, corner conditions, fastening geometry, tool access, and fixture logic are critical to avoiding costly problems during CNC prototyping or production. I can review the provided STL, rebuild or refine it into a clean parametric CAD model, add the required internal standoffs, update the necessary dimensions, and prepare the final package so a CNC supplier can quote and machine it with minimal ambiguity. My deliverables can include: native CAD in SolidWorks or CATIA STEP/IGES + STL manufacturing drawings with critical dimensions, tolerances, and surface-finish notes exploded view and rendered images a brief DFM summary focused on aluminum machining risk points My workflow typically covers: STL review and CAD reconstruction dimensional and internal feature updates manufacturability review for CNC machining final drawings and handoff package revision round based on prototype feedback if needed I handle the mechanical design work directly, including CAD refinement, manufacturability review, and drawing preparation. My focus is not only to make the model look correct, but to make it production-ready and clear for supplier communication. If you share the STL and a reference image of the intended final result, I can quickly confirm the best CAD workflow, preferred software choice, and a practical milestone plan for the 7-day timeline.
