Baby Spoon
I need a baby spoon that keeps the food closed inside the spoon so that it doesn't spill or open until the baby is ready to eat. Most of the time he is not ready to swallow the food. When he is pressured into eating, he has learned to swing at the spoon and knock down the food on the spoon. This spoon mechanical design will only open open a parent pressing a button for the spoon to open.
BBQ Grill brush-sponge with scrapper (bristle free)
Looking for help in developing a unique design and features for our grill brush-sponge for cleaning all types of BBQ grills and grates.
Purpose and Usage
- The product should effectively clean grill grates, removing grease and residue.
- It should be suitable for use on various types of grills (charcoal, gas, electric, pellet and flat top-grills) under high temperature and cold.
Design and Ergonomics
- The handle should be comfortable, durable, long curve and non-slip, allowing for a firm grip even when wet. Made of steel and fire resistant plastic
- The handle should have a dedicate soft spot for applying pressure with an index finger.
- The handle should end with a builtin metal scrapper enabling easy cleaning of hard-to-reach areas and between the grates.
- The handle should have a hanging hole
- The brush head must be an interchangeable sponge pad component (heavy duty, fireproof sponge with a plastic base stick to it). The sponge pad should be interchangeable with other types of bristle free, scrubber cleaning pads (also for heavy duty cleaning)
- The mechanism to assemble the handle and sponge pads or other types of pads must be extremely strong, yet easy to assemble, easy as 1-2-3. This mechanism must concealed if possible and elegant. And the mechanism must be unique and different to existing products.
Material Specifications
- The sponge pad material should be durable and able to withstand high temperatures/non flammable.
- the sponge pad can be detachable and wash separately
- Materials should be rust-resistant and safe for food contact.
Safety Features
- Incorporating a heat-resistant handle to protect the user's hands from burns.
Aesthetics
- The product should have a modern, sleek look that appeals
Dimensions
- the sponge (and other type of pad) should be 5 inch wide.
- Ensure the brush head is appropriately sized for efficient cleaning.
Cost Considerations
- Aim for a cost-effective design that balances quality, aesthetics and affordability.
Coffee French Press
We are looking to produce a sleek, modern French Press, which is used for brewing coffee. Made of double insulated stainless steel with copper plated inner wall, the French Press should keep coffee hot for up to 3 hours. So thermal insulation is a very important design criterion. For this project, we're more interested in the external design (overall shape/look). Please feel free to be creative.
camalapse mini
We are looking to add another product to our successful camalapse 4 product offering. The camalapse mini will operate using a similar internal mechanical/spring wound timer that is in the regular camalapse 4 (camalapse.com) but it will not have a female tripod mount on the bottom and instead of a male 1/4 20" male post on the top, it will need a feature/mechanism to hold a smartphone securely in place. The overall concept of this device is to operate exactly like the camalapse, but to be as small as a form factor as possible (fit safely into a small purse or large cargo pocket) as the target market is entirely focused on smartphones. At a minimum, the smartphone holder needs to hold the smartphone with a variety of thicknesses (with and without cases) in landscape mode at a 90 degree angle from the horizontal top surface of the camalapse mini. Bonus if the smartphone holder can also achieve a 45 degree angle. Big bonus if the smartphone holder is able to hold the smartphone at any angle but the mechanism to do so is simple and easy to manufacture. We will need to build a complete prototype, and will probably use shapeways to print all plastic parts so we will need files from the winner that can be used for 3D printing (during contest) and later for injection molds (after prototypes are successful). If metal parts are needed for concept, please advise where they can be purchased in small quantity online with links. The design does not need to mimic the octagonal shape of the camalapse 4, but some element of design carry over would be nice as this will be an additional product that we will want to leverage the success of the camalapse 4. We say this because the octagonal shape creates a larger form factor which we are trying to avoid.

We have included many pictures of the timer mechanism which the camalapse mini needs to be built around. We have added dimensions as best that we could. Please ask if you need more. Individual questions will be answered both individually and for the group.
Skin Care Brush
I'm seeking a CAD designer/firm for a skin care brush. Below are it's requirements:
1. a two-three piece mold in which the parts join (snap, insert, interlock, etc).
2. top portion part is a more flexible durometer and the bottom portion/handle part is a firm plastic durometer.
3. a clean, minimalist design (visual references can be provided)
- brush body must conform to body areas shapes: legs, armpits, bikini zone, under neck/chin
- brush handle must be ergonomic to right/left handed
4. additional info as well as pencil & vector sketches can be provided for later stages
5. No need to design the brush bristles (already have these) so main focus is on body and how the two durometers are joined
6. I will need at least (3) three designed options to pick from and prototype.
