My homemade car’s tube chassis is roughed-in inside Zoo Design Studio, but before I cut any steel I want an experienced engineer to polish the design. The job is purely design refinement: no welding or shop work, just solid engineering that gives me confidence the frame will handle real-world loads. What needs attention • Suspension geometry – confirm pickup points, optimise camber gain and bump steer • Weight distribution – tweak tube layout so mass sits where it should for balanced handling • Safety features – integrate proper crush zones, rollover protection and jack-point bracing without adding unnecessary weight I can share the current Zoo file along with photos of the mock-up. You may work directly in Zoo Design Studio or import the model into your preferred CAD package as long as final files come back in Zoo format (STEP or IGES export is fine for interim reviews). Deliverables 1. Updated 3D chassis model with refined tube sizes, nodes and gussets 2. Basic FEA screenshots or summary demonstrating stress levels and safety margins 3. 2D drawings (PDF + DXF) ready for laser-cut tube notching 4. Short report outlining the changes, assumptions and next steps for fabrication I respond quickly to clarify dimensions or vehicle specs and can run test fits on the physical mock-up the same day. Let me know your relevant motorsport or kit-car experience and an estimated timeline to turn the first revision.

With over two decades of experience in CAD/CAM and Mechanical Engineering, I believe I am the perfect fit for your homemade car chassis design refinement project. Your need for a seasoned engineer to polish the design resonates deeply with my skills and expertise. Throughout the years, I have cultivated proficiency in a variety of design softwares including the Solids package, Autodesk, CREO, 3D max and many more which is crucial for maintaining consistency throughout the refining process. Connecting this with my keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to quality, I assure you that your updated 3D chassis model will be precise, well-engineered and tailored towards handling real-world loads. My experience brings value not only to the 3D modelling aspect but to other project requirements such as suspension geometry optimization, mass distribution for a balanced handling, and incorporation of safety features without compromising weight. Given these significant changes, I understand that ensuring compatibility with your current set-up is essential; I can flexibly work in Zoo Design Studio or import your model into any preferred CAD package while providing progress updates in the Zoo design format (STEP or IGES export) as per your convenience.

Muhammad. I've reviewed your project description and it's clear that my skills in 3D CAD, modelling and engineering drawing are an excellent fit for your homemade car's chassis design refinement. Over the years, I have garnered vast experience in mechanical design and analysis, particularly in the motorsport industry. From suspension geometry to weight distribution and safety features, I fully understand the intricate balance required to optimize performance and safety of a vehicle. One aspect that distinguishes me is my proficiency in SolidWorks, a tool widely used by automobile manufacturers for its flexibility and precision. Moreover, I am comfortable working with Zoo Design Studio and can import/export from other CAD packages as required. This will enable me produce designs and analysis in line with your requirements and provided format. My attention to detail throughout the process ensures every step is critically assessed and improvements made where needed.
