With over a decade of experience in 3D modeling, including using a variety of materials, I'm confident that I can deliver a top-notch, fully functional radio prototype for your metal radio project. Having successfully developed mechanical parts and industrial components along with carrying out functional prototyping in my past projects makes me the best person for your job. My expertise in Blender, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max and individual knowledge concerning slicing and quality assurance with tools like Cura, PrusaSlicer, Chitubox enables me to optimize designs for FDM, SLA, and DLP techniques which are key to ensuring the durability and precision of your prototype. By leveraging my skills alongside real-world manufacturability considerations such as proper tolerances and clean topology - I will deliver a model that not only looks great but optimized for the CNC process as well. You deserve a freelancer like myself who prides in delivering production-ready work that aligns with every requirement - including using metal as the primary material & incorporating functional components into the design. Let's make your idea come to life!

Hello, I hope you're having a great day. I have hands on experience delivering multiple metal prototypes and working assemblies for electronics enclosures. On a recent project I designed a SolidWorks aluminum enclosure, CNC milled faces and pressed a sheet metal back, and fitted a custom PCB with a rotary encoder and pot for user controls. I'd start with CAD in SolidWorks, generate CAM for CNC and laser cut sheets, then assemble and test the PCB and mechanical fit. If you have ten minutes, I'd like to compare notes on the functional components and confirm the PCB footprint and front panel layout. Thank you, Muhammad S.

Hello, I've reviewed your project and understand you're looking for a physical radio prototype fabricated primarily from metal, with working electronic functionality rather than a purely visual mockup. This project requires a combination of product design, mechanical fabrication, and electronics integration. I can assist with the enclosure design, metal component development, assembly planning, and integration of functional radio hardware while ensuring the prototype is practical to manufacture and test. The goal would be to deliver a robust prototype that not only looks professional but also operates reliably as a functional device. You can review my work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/GridsmithLTD Do you already have specifications for the radio functionality (AM/FM, Bluetooth, speaker size, power source, controls, etc.), or are you looking for assistance defining the electronics architecture as part of the prototype development? Regards, Atik

Hi! Building functional metal prototypes for electronics products is a combination of skills I bring together regularly — mechanical design, metalwork, and electronics integration. My approach for your radio prototype: • CAD design first (Fusion 360) to finalise enclosure geometry, component placement, and tolerances before cutting any metal. • Sheet metal or CNC-machined aluminium for the housing — clean finish, durable, and manufacturable at scale later if needed. • Functional internals: FM/AM receiver module, tuning dial, volume control, speaker, and power circuit integrated and working within the enclosure. • Final assembly with all controls accessible and tested before delivery. Before I quote accurately I'd like to clarify a few things: 1. What radio functionality is required — FM only, AM/FM, Bluetooth, or a specific frequency range? 2. Is there an existing design direction or reference product, or is the form factor open? 3. What's the intended use — one-off prototype for investor demo, or a pre-production unit for tooling? I can provide CAD renders for approval before any fabrication starts, so there are no surprises. Happy to share relevant prototyping work once we connect. Looking forward to discussing the details!

Building functional electronic prototypes with metal enclosures is a core part of my hardware engineering work — I handle the full cycle from 3D CAD modelling and sheet-metal or machined-aluminium enclosure design through to PCB integration and assembly, ensuring the finished prototype looks production-quality and actually works. For your radio model I will design a clean metal housing with properly fitted cutouts for all functional components — tuner, speaker, controls, and antenna mount — backed by a working electronics assembly inside, with full CAD files and fabrication-ready drawings delivered alongside the physical unit. To make sure the design matches exactly what you need, one quick question: Do you have a specific style in mind — a vintage tabletop radio, a compact handheld unit, or a modern desktop form factor? Best regards, Engr. Muhammad Imran
