Visit the launch contest page to post your project on Cad Crowd.
You may want to include the following information when you post your contest:
- Project summary: Describe your project in as much detail as possible, including dimensions, overall aesthetics/appearance, the material used (i.e., plastic, metal, wood), and color preferences.
- End-use of designs: Please explain the end use for your designs, such as marketing materials, plans for a prototype, manufacturing designs, 3D printing, construction, filing a patent, etc.
- Deliverables (optional): Do you require 2D drawings, 3D CAD files, and/or 3D rendering files?
- Drawings/sketches/files: If applicable, include any sketches, graphics, or pictures that will help the designers fully understand your project requirements (if applicable). Also, you may want to include any existing CAD files for your project if you have worked with another design company in the past.
- Similar products/examples: If applicable, include examples of similar products that are currently on the market (product design projects) or any related designs for inspiration. Also, you may choose to include pictures and links to websites for reference.
- Budget: Choose your contest budget and prizes for the winning design entries.
- Software (optional): We typically recommend leaving this field blank for the best community participation and reading this article if you want specific CAD file deliverables. We recommend our private project services or you require a specific CAD software package for your project.
- Other: Do you have a target deadline for your project? Is there any additional information that would help the designer/engineer understand the scope of your project?
