We would like to ask you for your help to create a new kitchen prep station product for the market that will be made out of bamboo. Technical skill or experience with these elements would be helpful.
We are looking for a high-quality design with optimum functionality.
Use this guide to design a product that is unique, hyper-functional, and pleasing to look at.
After the design contest, we want to validate our concept and bring the product to market!
Deliverables. All CAD drawings showing everything. Please provide full dimensions for each side/element of the design. Also, provide images showing clearly each side of the unit (top, bottom, front, back, sides. 3D files as well. And static images of all the different angles sent separately.
Requirements:
1. We are looking for a very specific product. You can choose to use our EXACT details on HOW we would do it and provide the final details to make it work perfectly (and look nice, consider costs, etc). Possibly adding in some small changes or improvements. This is highly desirable to us. We like the current idea but need it fleshed out and the “Look/Details” finalized. See the description on what we were thinking.
2. You can also choose to make a more unique product based on the ideas presented. This could work but it will be more difficult to do exactly what we want.
3. The product must include a cutting board, food scale, food disposal area for items chopped on cutting board, and containers to put the food in. The idea of measuring the food is also good. Extra “cutting parts/blades” not really desired. We like the idea of an efficient cutting board where you use a knife. Please see the bottom on the specifics of the products we like and why.
4. Size: Flexible. Kitchen product. We recommend a cutting board of around 16 inches long and about 10 inches wide. This is a good starting point. The rest of the details please consider making the different elements big enough but also consider the costs as well. It should be an efficient/space saving product. Easy to be out of the way and not too bulky.
5. The item has to come FULLY Assembled.
6. The more versatility and uniqueness this product has the better. But simplicity, cost in manufacturing and shipping are also very important.
7. Material: Needs to be made of bamboo. All bamboo is ideal and recommended. Some metal and/or glass can also be included. No plastic except perhaps for the scale.
8. High quality and durability a priority. Materials that don’t crack or warp, etc.
9. MORE function is desired. Versatility and function is a huge part of our brand. More STORAGE space or ways to store.
10. It should look aesthetically pleasing in its design. People should look at it and go “that’s nice!”.
11. The deliverables should include full design in multiple angles for CAD drawings. As well as static images of all angles plus 3D files.
See our attached file for Specifics.

If you notice on the right hand side of the cutting board there are 3 ramekins. This is not really what I am asking you to do but it gave me an idea. What we would really like to add is a section where you can SLIDE food cut on the cutting board into designated areas that can be measured. In a standard measurement like cups, 1/2 cups, and maybe 1/4 or 1/3 or 2 cups. That would depend on the design. But at least 1/2 and 1 full cup.
There should be no blockage for the food to be slide directly into holes where they can be measured.
This could be on one of the sides or behind the cutting board.
Then the user should be able to remove the measured portion.
This is a highly desired feature! Please include it.
A less desired function would be holding food that needs to be prepared. This is not necessary. Places for extra utensils and things is not either.
Please let me know if you need more clarification on this concept.
Amendment:
We really like the idea of a stainless steel scale as well. With little to no plastic. Eco-Friendly is important. You can see some on Amazon like this:
www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Multifunction-Platform-Batteries-Stainless/dp/B076BJG1RN/ref=sr_1_7
Important new idea:
Detachable top! Must have. This will make cleaning it so much easier!! The unit will likely need to be large so making the top detachable will be a huge bonus.
NO MORE Weight Scale:
We have decided to remove the necessity of having a scale with this product. Sorry for the late change. I think with the other recent changes it is not necessary and causes unnecessary complications with using plastic and electronic complexity. And it takes up space that can be used for other things. Please remove that element.

Detachable top! Must have. This will make cleaning it so much easier!! The unit will likely need to be large so making the top detachable will be a huge bonus.
Additional thought:
lids for the storage containers for storage. I do think this would be a nice addition and have re-considered this.

This is a good example of a prep station where you could "push/slide" food into measuring areas (shown on the right). Easy to use.

Either. Something more standard (this is available with a manufacturer) should be strongly considered but if there is a strong reason to use something unique that is okay.
Buyer
As I stated in my last response I would be flexible here if possible. You can try to be creative with your scale size and placement. That is okay. I am interested in seeing these designs if it fits all the other needs.
Here is another scale type/size that I know is available:
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Eco-friednly-Natural-Bamboo-Cutting-Board_62321868311.html?spm=a2700.details.0.0.78306afcEh3dA8
This is about 14.5 cm x 22.5 cm x 1.4 cm in depth. So we have a depth here that should be useful. And a size for another scale type.
Buyer
Yes, the exact size of the scale is not shown on that Alibaba link. But if you take into account the size of the scale that IS shown you can get a pretty good idea. As long as you are close and there is room for size adjustments by the manufacturer that will be fine. The depth of the scale is the trickier part. It is a little deeper than shown in the picture. I would try to adjust your design to allow for some flexibility in the depth of the scale as well.

The way they use a few "shredding" attachments we like. If you can lay down a larger set of shredding blades like these and they lock in place that might be an idea we would be interested in.

This one uses stainless steel containers. This is an interesting possibility. Sanitary, easy to clean, good for kitchens. Less likely to be damaged in transit than glass. But not see through. Also, with this one and our product consider an area where you can put your food out BEFORE you prep it.
