Hi Brian,
This is Bogdan from Romania.
I'm a mechanical engineer - specialized in the industrial robotic field, 3D designer and modeler (from time to time and some projects I could make the functional prototype too).
I'm doing product design, industrial design, reverse engineering, ideation, etc.
I have over 15 years experience working on various systems/devices across multiple industries, from concept to launch.
1 - do you have the 3d model of the object to be inserted? (step, iges file would be great...), or is necessary to be recreated?
2 - what material and consequently the technology would you like to use? (from velvet cover over a support, to eva foam and thermoformed trays is a big difference...)
3 - in which category is the product? regular/common or luxury?
4 - how the product should be held? two helves or one tray with/without cover?
5 - which is the weight of the product? (in order to know if will be necessary top make some ribs/reinforcements...)
6 - is only one product, or you have accessories too? (ex for a phone, will have the charger, the cable, headphones, etc)
Regards
Bogdan
