Vanillapop Posted September 13, 2019 at 03:25 AM Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 at 03:25 AM Hey was just wondering if there is anyone here who knows how to use all those graphic programs and can help me create a product sketch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= keed Posted September 13, 2019 at 12:28 PM Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 at 12:28 PM I am no product designer, but you have to be more specific. Are you talking CAD/CAM applications? 3D printable formats or similar? What is the product? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Acro1 Posted September 14, 2019 at 07:41 AM Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 at 07:41 AM What Keed said ^ What is the product, and do you need 2D or 3D results? I can do esthetic, polygon-based 3D-modelling and vector drawings. If you want to design an object as a blueprint for 3D printing or schematics for assembly, I could help you. If you need a parameter-based design (high mathematical accuracy) for eg injection molding or if you need it digitally stress-tested, I'm not equipped for that. Give us some details Nillie, we'll shoot you all the help we can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanillapop Posted September 15, 2019 at 07:12 PM Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 at 07:12 PM Hey sorry guys, I don't need it for 3d printing or anything like that, just need a drawing and blue prints for it so I can take it to go fund me and the manufactures so I can get started on the project, if you can help I can PM you with more detail thanks.

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted September 15, 2019 at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 at 08:34 PM I've taken an idea past the design phase and nearly to the patent phase before I decided the venture would end up rather out of my scope, requiring a manufacturing investment on my part greater than 50% to retain ownership of my own idea and product. In that time, I learned a lot about such projects. Namely, you can't do it alone, and you'll need to protect yourself as you go. First step would be to form (in your country/province) a simple company that can hold the ownership of the assets and ideas, to which you are the controller. In America, a limited liability company would be the way to go, setup fees and process are very simple and online resources abound. Find something like that for yourself. From there, you can start to get help from one or more consultants or contributors, and for that you really want to have them sign a non-disclosure, non-circumventing, non-competing agreement. This makes it possible for you to share information that is sensitive with people you need to help you along the way. You will want to review and tailor to your needs, but here is an example: sample-NDA-NCV-NCP.txt *You must have forms like this created correctly or they may not be legally binding, make sure all information is correct, and all should be well.

So once you get the company stuff sorted you can hire me as a business consultant ☺️ Haven't done that in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Gaz Posted September 30, 2019 at 12:56 AM Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 at 12:56 AM It highly depends on the complexity of the item/'s you are creating. Blueprinting is something I've done in the past and product drawings etc but I've not really designed and developed a large amount of interlocking parts etc. It really depends what you're attempting to design, if it has a large amount of electronic parts, if you have the specifications for those parts. Bashing out a blueprint wont take long generally but each individual size requirement length requirement and decline in tolerances complicates things. Generally speaking hand drawing blueprints will give you much faster results than developing using a program of some sort, takes a lot of skill to get accurate CAD drawings of anything that starts to get complicated and you'd also have to have access to some serious development software to get anything worth its weight. Pencil and plotting paper is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanillapop Posted October 1, 2019 at 02:33 AM Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 at 02:33 AM So I got someone on fiverr to draw a simple product design for me, now I'm in the process of getting it drawn it autocad, kickstarter is under review and contacted a few manufacturers who are waiting on the autocad design so far so good just finishing up a website in a few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersans Posted October 17, 2019 at 03:14 PM Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 at 03:14 PM To be honest. Brutally honest. You need some sales and marketing support. I don't want to be an asshole, but everyone knows I am anyway, but your presentation isn't very good. Please take this the right way. Few points. It's unclear what the product is. How it's useful. It's presented very poorly. There's no real reason to back the project because it lacks a real outcome. For example you don't offer your backers anything. I know you probably have a very good idea and probably a good product. But you need to sell man. This is not the way to sell. You need to convince people. You can't be that guy on the market with a loaf of bread hoping someone will buy it. PM me if you want advice. I'm happy to help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SemlerPDX Posted October 18, 2019 at 04:35 AM Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 at 04:35 AM Yea, it's a good product, I'd pay up to $45 US for something like that. I do outdoors a lot, if you're in my neck of the woods, if you don't know your trees, tossing your towel over a branch to dry can end up sticky with sap, and on the beach you have pretty much just the chair you brought, and maybe a picnic blanket, nothing to hold a towel/hat/etc. On that note - those hooks should have a small clasp, one thing that sucks when hanging things outdoors is that unexpected wind gust that takes your clean, carefully hung items and ruins the whole point of hanging it by getting covered in sand like velcro. Just an idea, any small thing that keeps the hooked item from just flopping right off would be sweet (but I know you already have your design, etc.). +1 for marketing - pics, infographics, a small vid (once you get a working prototype)... This is just the first steps, but like Jersans said, basically if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right! Make the thing out of some recycled plastic that is actually CO2 pulled from the air through sustainable renewable energy made from unicorn farts and vegan dung beetles. You get the idea: buzz words. To quote the great Yogurt, "Moichandising!" now for some comic relief: Great name idea: "Handy Hooker" Because life is always more fun when you have a Hooker Handy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
