I have a concept for a household gym-equipment cart and I’m ready to turn it into a finished, manufacturable product. I need one partner who can take the idea from mechanical engineering design all the way through to an initial production run. Here’s what I already have: rough sketches, target dimensions and a clear sense of the loads the cart must carry. What I need next is a full CAD model, engineering calculations for strength and stability, material selection (steel, aluminium or composite—whichever meets cost-to-weight targets), and detailed drawings that a fabricator can work from. Once the design is locked, I’d like you to source or manage the prototype build, test it, refine if necessary, and then organise small-batch manufacturing. Deliverables • 3D CAD files (SolidWorks or similar) and 2D fabrication drawings • Prototype built and tested to agreed load specs • Finalised manufacturing package: BOM, assembly instructions, QA checkpoints • Coordination with a manufacturer to produce the first batch Acceptance criteria – Cart safely supports the specified load without excessive deflection – Smooth performance – Unit passes a simple drop and tilt test without damage – Production cost per unit stays within the material budget we’ll set together Experience with sheet-metal design, welded assemblies, powder-coating, and small-batch production will be a big plus. If you can deliver both the engineering rigour and the manufacturing follow-through, let’s talk timelines.

Gym carts fail at weld joints under dynamic load and caster mounts that tear out on bumps. I design welded assemblies in SolidWorks with FEA validation, managing the full path from sketch to small-batch production. Steel, aluminum, or hybrid — I'll recommend based on your cost-to-weight target. I'll model, validate loads, produce fabrication drawings with BOM, coordinate prototype build and testing, and organize your first production batch. Send sketches and load specs and I'll confirm scope in 48 hours. Pricing will be decided after the final scope of the project is provided. I have a few questions: Target load capacity and surface type — smooth gym floor or ramps/thresholds? Target batch size for first run? Steel or aluminum preference, or open to recommendation?
