Job Title: Experienced CAD Designer: Premium CNC Aluminum Bumper Case for PSA Professional Sports Authenticator Graded Card Slabs Important Notice for Applicants: DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS FOR A PSA GRADED CARD SLAB. The acronym PSA in this project stands for Professional Sports Authenticator, which is a plastic protective case used for trading cards like Pokemon and sports cards. This project has nothing to do with pressure-sensitive adhesives. I cannot provide physical card slab samples or measurements. I am looking strictly for a specialist who has already designed trading card protectors or slab guards, and who already owns the exact 3D models and dimensions for standard PSA graded card slabs. Project Description: I need production-ready mechanical design files for a premium aluminum bumper case engineered specifically to protect standard PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) graded card slabs. This is a subtractive manufacturing project involving CNC milling and laser cutting. Do not apply if your background is strictly plastic injection molding. Design Details: Aesthetic and Form: Two distinct interlocking metallic halves consisting of a Red top and a Gold bottom. Fastening: The frame halves must snap securely together using hidden rare-earth magnets embedded into pockets along the inner perimeter. No exterior screws. Windows: Clear acrylic (PMMA) faceplates on the front and back to sandwich the PSA slab.(psa label and card only visible and must be visible in both sides) Gaskets: The design must include a dedicated groove or space for a thin rubber, silicone, or EVA foam gasket lining the inner perimeter. The metal must never touch the plastic PSA slab directly. DFM (Design for Manufacturing): The interior must account for standard CNC tool end-mill radii and include built-in internal clearance tolerances to accommodate the gasket and the PSA slab perfectly without rattling or scratching. Required Deliverables: 3D master files in STEP and IGS formats. 2D vector cutouts for the faceplates and the custom flat gasket profile in DXF and DWG formats. Fully dimensioned 2D engineering drawings with geometric tolerances in PDF format. To Apply: Please state explicitly in your first sentence that you understand we are designing for a Professional Sports Authenticator trading card slab, confirm that you already have the standard PSA slab dimensions, and attach examples of previous custom aluminum enclosures you have created.

Dear Sir, I have extensive experience designing precision CNC-machined aluminum enclosures, protective cases, interlocking mechanical components, and assemblies with tight-fit interfaces, magnets, gaskets, and clear protective panels. I’ll develop the two-piece aluminum bumper case with the specified interlocking geometry, concealed rare-earth magnet pockets, front and rear PMMA faceplates, and a dedicated gasket groove to ensure the PSA slab never contacts the metal directly. I’ll also account for CNC end-mill radii, machining clearances, gasket compression, and controlled tolerances to prevent movement, rattling, or scratching. The design will be optimized for CNC milling and laser-cut components while maintaining the premium appearance and precise fit required for a production product. I’ll provide the complete STEP and IGS master files, DXF/DWG faceplate and gasket profiles, and fully dimensioned PDF engineering drawings with appropriate tolerances and manufacturing details. I can also provide examples of previous custom aluminum enclosure and CNC-machined component designs for review. Best Regards Ivy

I understand we are designing for a Professional Sports Authenticator trading card slab, and I already have the standard PSA slab dimensions. I’d like to offer a free consultation to discuss your vision and ensure we’re on the same page. Would you find that beneficial? A key hazard in your project is ensuring the interior clearance is precise. If the fit is off, you risk damaging the PSA slab, costing you both time and materials. I'd start with the interlocking design, focusing on the hidden magnets. This ensures a secure snap fit while maintaining a clean aesthetic. The gasket groove needs careful attention to avoid any direct contact with the slab. I've designed similar aluminum enclosures before, incorporating revisions as part of my process to refine the design. What’s your target deadline for this? Do you have any existing assets or designs to share?
