Project Title Mechanical Design Tutor Required — Fusion 360/SolidWorks, CAD, FEA and BOM Support Project Description I am looking for an experienced mechanical design engineer or tutor to support me with a university mechanical engineering design project. This is a tutoring and technical mentoring role. I will remain responsible for all design decisions, CAD work, calculations and the final submitted report. The freelancer should explain the engineering process, review my work, identify errors and demonstrate relevant techniques through live or recorded guidance. The project involves developing an original and humorous “unnecessary invention”: a mechanically plausible product that solves a minor or largely non-existent everyday problem. Support Required The tutor should assist with: Defining the engineering problem and project scope. Developing measurable design specifications. Brainstorming and comparing multiple concepts. Reviewing concept sketches and the concept-selection matrix. Planning the mechanical structure and component layout. Teaching or demonstrating CAD modelling in Fusion 360 or SolidWorks. Reviewing parts, assemblies and engineering drawings. Advising on materials and suitable manufacturing processes. Explaining relevant hand calculations and design verification. Advising on FEA or motion simulation where appropriate. Reviewing the bill of materials and cost calculations. Reviewing FMEA, sustainability and maintenance considerations. Providing feedback on the structure and technical clarity of the design portfolio. Identifying weaknesses and recommending design improvements. Expected Deliverables Initial consultation and feasibility review. Feedback on at least three concept ideas. Guidance on selecting and developing one final concept. CAD modelling demonstrations or annotated feedback on my CAD files. Review notes for parts, assemblies and engineering drawings. Guidance on calculations, simulation setup and result interpretation. Review of the BOM, cost analysis and manufacturing plan. Feedback on my draft portfolio. Regular online meetings or screen-sharing sessions. The freelancer must not write the final report or complete the assessed submission on my behalf. All advice must be clearly explained so that I can understand, reproduce and defend the work independently. Preferred Software Fusion 360 is preferred, particularly for macOS compatibility. SolidWorks is also acceptable. Microsoft Excel for the BOM, costing, FMEA and design matrices. PowerPoint or Adobe InDesign experience would be helpful for portfolio presentation.

The key challenge here is not simply building a CAD model, but developing a defensible engineering workflow—from measurable specifications and concept selection through CAD, verification, BOM and FMEA—while keeping the work genuinely yours. I can support this in a structured way: 1. Review the problem definition and compare at least three concepts using objective criteria. 2. Demonstrate or review SolidWorks/Fusion 360 modelling, assemblies and drawings. 3. Guide the relevant calculations, FEA/motion setup and interpretation rather than producing assessed work for you. 4. Review BOM, manufacturing assumptions, FMEA and the final portfolio structure. You will receive annotated CAD feedback, engineering review notes, calculation/simulation guidance, and documentation where applicable, with native CAD files and Excel deliverables retained in your workflow. Scope follows the current description, with up to 2 revision rounds. Additional features are quoted separately, with no physical fabrication/testing unless agreed. What concept or initial design work have you completed so far?

Hi, Great mechanical design relies on sound engineering principles, and to support your project, I can guide you through each stage from concept selection to final CAD modeling. My approach focuses on mentoring you through structural planning, FEA simulation, and BOM setup in Fusion 360. Let me know if you have already chosen your primary mechanical concept, or if we will start directly with the initial brainstorming review. Recently, I worked on a similar project, MechDesign Tutor, an educational mentoring program designed to assist students with CAD workflows and mechanical analysis. I personally conducted live screen-sharing sessions, reviewed parametric assemblies, guided stress simulations, and structured detailed Excel manufacturing reports using CAD tools and engineering fundamentals. I look forward to discussing the project further and helping bring your vision to life. Best, Ariba
