Description:
There's an important medical product out there prescribed to many patients, that people are using make-shift cases (often times, pockets). These patients need a sleek case that they can fit in their pockets, sitting about the size of the palm of a female's hand, created with a thoughtful design that also opens and closes functionally, smart, and beautifully, and most importantly, will protect their product... (this case could be used for several devices, so for now the product intended to go in the case will remain undisclosed). specs:
- overal case body: APPROX L: 5cm, W: 5cm, H: 2cm
There is a lot of room for flexibility in these dimensions, so please feel free to play with them... design and engineering is most important, exact dimensions can be adjusted later.
- size of magnets for closing mechanism: 1/4" diameter, 1/32" thick
- So as NOT to limit a great design out there, I will not hold it against the winning design, but please keep in mind that this product will need to be converted from CAD to STL.
Wants:
1. INCORPORATE in the engineering, an internal magnetic closing mechanism that utilizes 2 small magnets.www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp
2. ENGINEER a VERY SIMPLE HINGE being mindful of manufacturing costs. The less number of parts required in the entire design, the better (magnets may be used in the hinge, and simple clam-style hinge that will require polyprop is okay as shown in picture, but being creative in the engineering is much preferred)
3. DESIGN something that has the following elements:
- apple's simplicity, BMW's industry-leading modern lines and curves
- gender neutral
- rounded edges and feel (no square, rectangles)
- 1-4 "breathing" holes of any style integrated anywhere on the case (except for the bottom of the case (each hole 1"x1/4cm or larger)
- not at all necessary but possibly an idea, you may want to try to incorporate a slight indent for a finger/thumb for ease of opening and closing the case
- Case should sit flat on a table when closed
Don't Wants:
- un-manufacturable designs- a case with more than 3 parts (requiring 2-3 cavity mold is preferred)
- a hinge that is too complicated, easily malfunctions, with too many parts
- bulky
- too many crevices where bacteria/dirt can build up
- artwork on the case (colors: any shades of the following colors in any way you like- grays, white, black, darker blues. all one color is just fine too)
Software:
- AutoCAD

Discussion
Mangets- Please make sure that the magnets are internal (hidden IN the plastic, not exposed)- the magnets will be added into the case in the injection molding process, so that it is not visible to the consumer.
Thank you
Thank you
Got an email with some questions for clarification...
- yes injection mold will be utilized to manufacture.
- No, it does not have to be a living hinge- I am exploring other options because a living hinge will restrict me to using PP as a material.
- The term "hinge" is used loosely... It can pop in and out, slide left to right -- something user-friendly, and easy to manufacture (low cost). I can&
;t think of more examples, I&
;m not much of an engineer, so ill leave that to you.
Thank you!

@Kevin. Thanks for your question.
The device: does not have any wires or tubes, or anything else that will effect the design of the case. I&
;ve attached a photo of a watch, similar to the size and shape of the device. All devices on the market are not the same size; fortunately, exact sizing is not necessary, and the device&
;s specifics will not have to dictate the design of the case.
Dimensions: Yes, it can absolutely be thinner at the ends, wider, longer anywhere. It does not have to be symmetrical or exact. The dimensions I provided are very loose.
Please feel free to ask any more questions, I am more than happy to answer.

Does the device have any wires, or tubes to or from, that need to be accommodated? Is it possible to know what the device is? The shape of the unit will affect the shape of the holder, so even a basic sketch showing the device sizes. I.e can it be thinner at the ends, or does it need to be 2cm inside clear the entire 6.5cm length and width.
@wgipps, thanks for asking. If hinge style, it should open at least 90 degrees, allowing full and adequate access to the main container area holding the product. 180 degrees is not necessary. I&
;d like to clarify this and say that the "hinge" may use a sliding mechanism... A lateral opening and closing.... Anything that gives full access and function to comfortable and easily place the object in the case while maintaining a magnetic closure. Thank you!

Hi
Re the &
;open case&
; - are you wanting 180 degrees opening - or more than that? Is 90 degrees ok? What about 45 degrees? Thanks

2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner bottle with a pump
The goal of this project is to find the most efficient engineering solution for the pump in a hard plastic bottle.
The bottle itself is going to be made of hard plastic or glass, so it will not be possible to squeeze the bottle itself to squeeze the shampoo or conditioner out.
If the shampoo is required to be pumped out, the bottle will have to be tilted with the shampoo side down and pumped air will help the shampoo to flow out. So the size of the pump have to be enough to provide enough pressure for the liquid to be pushed. We don't want people pressing 10 times on the button before they see any effect.
The pump will have to be an air pump as it will work for both chambers with different liquids and they can't mix.
The pump will either twist to the chamber that requires pumping or the 'locking button' will unlock the inlet that will allow the air to be pumped in OR another innovative solution offered by engineers/product designers.
PLEASE NOTE: There must be something preventing the shampoo and conditioner to flow out of chambers, some sort of valve or another engineering solution. For example if the inlet for shampoo will be unlocked while the shampoo side is facing up, the shampoo should not leak out.
The manufacturing cost is a very important factor. The less parts will need to be manufactured to assemble the product the better. Simplicity and cost effectiveness of the design is a key.
If the design submitted is exactly what is needed then the designer will be asked to help us to finalise the product until it is in manufacturing.
Please use software that would allow us to print a 3d model.

Modern and innovative cat tower
We are a small start up business focusing on bringing the outdoors inside for indoor cats. Indoor cats like to climb and feel safe when selecting a preferred level to perch at. Indoor cats like their outdoor cousins, need exercise, plants (especially grass) and access to view out of windows to keep them stimulated. If the cats requirements aren't enough of a challenge then the winning design must fit seamlessly with the ultra modern home interior. We invite you to submit your designs based upon shelves fitted to the ikea stolmen post, a floating shelf design or your own unique concept. Your design may be cat centric or multi purpose for both cat and pet parent.
Firearms storage case
Hi,
I need a 2D and 3D CAD design for a firearms storage case made out of a soft fabric such as canvas or ballistic nylon.
My intention is to have something (drawing/rendering with dimensions) available to show a manufacturer so they understand what I want.
I've attached a drawing of the case and it's dimensions. I'd like it to be padded (similar to a typical laptop case). It needs to have pouches on the outside for storage of pistol magazines, ammunition, etc.
It also needs to have a shoulder strap and carry handles.
The lid needs to be opened from the front of the case and "hinged" at the back.
On the inside, the case should have some compartments divided by padded dividers (like a typical laptop case).
I've attached some pictures of typical range bags that show examples of what I'd like.
If it can have a military/law enforcement look to it it'd be great.
The pouches can be Velcro or zippered closures.
A dark gray color would be great for the case.
Those are the basic requirements. I'll leave the rest of the design up to you. If you have any ideas to enhance it I'd appreciate it.
Thank you,
Carlos
