2.) Unique and effective method for attachment to hard-hat.
3.) Manufacturable: build to standards for plastic mold injection.
4.) Meet size constraints
5.) Slim design (does not obstruct field of view when wearing hard hat)
- AutoCAD (Latest)
- Water-resistance
- Front-case and button fused. We'll use a multi-material plastic injection mold. Button will be a rubber-like material with a column that makes contact with the PCB snap-dome.
Score Breakdown:
Aesthetics (25 pts) | 25/25: Design is pleasing to the eye.
Manuafaturability (25 pts) | 25/25 : The design can easily and cost-effectively be adapted for plastic injection molding.
Housing Attachment (20 pts) | 20/20 : The design features a unique and effective method for attachment to the brim of a hard-hat.
Design Novelty (10 pts) | 10/10: The design does not reflect any characteristic design features of earlier entries or current available products.
Designer Interactions (10 pts) | 10/10: Designer actively engages with Buyer.
Water Resistance (10 pts) | 10/10: The housing is water-proof.

Congratulations to HandSketcher for 1st place prize with a small, thin, and attractive design!
I'm attaching a score sheet in the attachments for everyone to see how they were graded.
Thank you to all participants! We really loved everyone's input and the great submissions.
Please go check out our 2nd Project "Hard-Hat Clipable Safety Notification System ()" focused more on manufacturability and building around a specific PCB.
Buyer
We're closing the competition at 11:59 pm (Pacific Time Zone) Saturday April 8th, so please submit your final designs before that time.
We'll be hosting another competition very soon focusing more on designing a housing around a specific PCB instead of conceptual like we did this time.
As this this was our first project Cad Crowd, we'll do a better job this second time with awarding 1st,2nd,3rd prizes, funding the project upfront, and keep the project time down to 10 days.
Thank you all for you submissions, we've very happy with the results we've gotten so far, and we're happy to work with you guys on future projects!!

We didn't provide that information since we'd like to see some creativity in aesthetics and safety-hat placement. The PCB design is open to change. Please focus more on coming up with a creative, aesthetic, and novel housing for this application. We've provided PCB specifications and images just for an example reference so you can get an idea of the basic components and basic size the housing should be.
So to summarize, this is more of a concept-design competition instead of designing a housing for one specific PCB.

I'll prepay the project once we get 5 quality design entries.

I apologize for not including that information.
PCB Thickness: 0.6 mm
Please feel free to post any further questions.
Many thanks

Please forgive me for not explaining it better, this is our first project posting on Cad Crowd. The safety notification system is accomplished with the internal electronics already developed. You will be designing the outer casing to house and protect the printed circuit board. All that is important is that there are LEDs on the curved portion of the case to display threats, there is a push-button in the center of the case, there is a micro-USB charging port on the side and the case will be clipped somehow to the underside of a hard-hat.
Hope that helps.
what all do you want to include in the safety notification system, it will be helpful if you can tell me the field of work where the hat will be used.
Are you sure you don't want a 3D simulated model and just an Auto CAD file.
Designer
I understand perfectly.
Sounds good.
Buyer
All I'm allowed to say is: the device has internal sensors to notify construction workers of nearby dangers.
If we like your design concepts, we can issue a mutually protective "Non Disclosure Agreement" and spill our beans.
Designer
please specify the function in more detail ...
