I’ve mocked up a simple pair of aluminium blocks and now need them turned into proper, machinist-ready CAD. Each block will finish at about 80 mm high × 60 mm wide × 100 mm deep. Rear face: the two halves close around a tube in a clamshell style. I’m thinking four Allen-head bolts (M5 or M6, two per side) will do the job, but if you see a cleaner fixing method that still lets the parts open easily, I’m all ears. Front face: a 20 mm through-hole receives a docking dowel that must lock in place with a sprung plunge pin. Because the blocks form part of a mobility mechanism, the pin fit and dowel clearance need to keep movement tight yet allow quick release. What I need from you • 3D CAD files (STEP or similar) of both halves plus hardware • 2D machining drawings with full dimensions, tolerances and call-outs • A concise parts list covering the plunge pin, bolts and any inserts I’ll run the STEP file through Fusion 360 to be sure everything imports cleanly and that the drawings give a machinist everything required—once those checks pass, the job’s complete. If anything in my sketch photo isn’t clear, just let me know and we’ll iterate quickly.

Hello, I can turn your aluminium dock clamp blocks into clean, machinist-ready CAD with practical bolt closure, accurate dowel clearance, and a reliable sprung plunge-pin lock. I’ll model both halves in STEP, then create fully dimensioned 2D drawings with tolerances, call-outs, and a concise hardware parts list so the design is ready for Fusion 360 review and machining. I’ll also suggest any small improvements to the clamshell fixing if they help maintain rigidity while keeping assembly easy and the dock action tight. If needed, I can refine the pin fit and bolt choice around your preferred machining method. Please have a look at our Freelancer portfolio through the links given below. https://www.freelancer.com/u/CreativeDesign50 Best regards Kirandeep K.

The critical part here is getting the clamshell clamp and docking pin fit right — tight enough to avoid unwanted movement, but still easy to release and service. I can model both aluminium block halves in Fusion 360, design the tube clamping arrangement, the 20 mm docking-dowel bore and the sprung plunger-pin interface with practical machining tolerances. I can also review whether M5/M6 Allen bolts are the best fixing method or if a cleaner serviceable option makes more sense. You’ll receive: • STEP files for both halves and hardware • Fully dimensioned machining drawings with tolerances/call-outs • Concise hardware/parts list • Editable Fusion 360 source file I’ll keep the geometry straightforward for machining and check the assembly fit before delivery. Send me the sketch/photo and tube diameter and I can start directly.

Hello, I can turn your aluminium block concept into a complete machinist ready SolidWorks design with both clamshell halves, the tube clamping arrangement, front docking dowel and spring plunge pin mechanism. I can review whether M5 or M6 Allen bolts are best or suggest a cleaner fixing method if it improves access and repeatability. I will keep the dowel and pin tolerances tight enough for the mobility mechanism while still allowing smooth quick release. I can provide both 3D parts with hardware, STEP files, fully dimensioned machining drawings with tolerances and callouts, plus a short parts list for the plunge pin, bolts and inserts. if you want to discuss more about this then please send me a message so we can connect.

Hello, I can convert your aluminium block concept into machinist-ready CAD with accurate dimensions, functional clearances, and a clean two-piece clamshell design. I understand the critical areas are the tube enclosure, M5/M6 fastening arrangement, 20 mm docking-hole geometry, and the sprung plunge-pin mechanism where fit, clearance, and quick release are important. I would model both halves with precise, manufacturing-oriented geometry, include the required hardware, and prepare STEP files that import cleanly into Fusion 360. I’ll also produce fully dimensioned 2D machining drawings with appropriate tolerances, hole/thread call-outs, material notes, and a concise BOM covering bolts, plunge pin, and inserts. I can also review the proposed fastening method and suggest an alternative if it improves usability or manufacturability. You can expect a tidy, production-ready CAD package with careful attention to functional interfaces and machinability. I’d be happy to review your sketch and iterate quickly where any dimensions or features need clarification. Thank you,
