Smart Hot-Bar — CAD & Prototype Development I have the core concept for a compact smart commercial hot-bar and am looking for a skilled mechanical/mechatronics engineer or product designer who is interested in working with me long term to develop the project. I already have the main concept and functionality planned. I am looking for someone who can help turn the concept into a professional engineering design and eventually a working prototype. Phase 1 — 3D CAD & Technical Design Budget: $209 The first phase will focus on designing a small prototype version of the machine. I need help with: - Complete 3D CAD design - Internal mechanical/component layout - Technical drawings with dimensions - Exploded/assembly views - Component and material recommendations - Basic electrical/mechatronic integration planning - Bill of Materials (BOM) - Source CAD files and fabrication-ready files - A clear plan for building the physical prototype Experience with SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or similar CAD software, as well as practical mechatronics/product-development experience, is preferred. Phase 2 — Small Working Prototype Assembly & testing budget: approximately $500 If Phase 1 is successful, I would like to continue with the same person to help assemble, integrate and test the small working prototype. I will cover approved materials and components separately. The goal is to create a small working proof of concept that can demonstrate the technology and help prepare the project for presentation to potential investors and for development of the larger machine. Long-Term Opportunity This is not intended to be a one-time CAD job. If we work well together, I want to continue with the same engineer through prototype development, testing, improvements and eventually the larger commercial version. As the machine becomes larger and more technically demanding, the budget/pay will increase according to the complexity and amount of work required. I am ready to begin with the design phase and would like to find someone who is genuinely interested in growing with the project.

Hi, I’m interested in helping develop the Smart Hot-Bar from the current concept into a practical, buildable prototype. My background is in mechanical engineering and product development using Fusion 360, including mechanical assemblies, component packaging, manufacturing-oriented CAD, and prototype design. I also have experience integrating mechanical designs with electronics and microcontroller-based systems. For Phase 1, I can develop the complete 3D CAD assembly, internal component layout, dimensioned drawings, exploded views, BOM, and fabrication-ready files. I would approach the design around actual component envelopes, assembly access, wiring paths, serviceability, material selection, and the requirements for the later working prototype rather than treating it as only a visual CAD model. Before starting, I’d like to review your current concept, overall dimensions, heating method/components, target temperature, and any components you have already selected. That will let me establish the internal layout and design constraints before building the detailed model. I’m also open to continuing into Phase 2 after the CAD and prototype plan have been validated.
