Looking for someone to help me realize a new product idea. CAD experience needed.

[fuzzybabybunny]

I've got a new product idea that involves making coffee. It's quite simple and I don't really see anything else like it on the market.

I'm looking for someone who knows CAD / Solidworks and getting physical products made. I'm also mechanically minded but I don't know how to use Solidworks all that well and also who to go to to get prototypes made and stuff. I know a patent lawyer who can get this patented.

I'm going to have to have you sign an NDA. I'm serious about this idea. I've got experience in managing my own business as well.

Is my safety guaranteed? Do I need to bring my own gun?

It's pretty innocuous...

You really need to do a very thorough search for existing patents. I've had a couple ideas for coffee related inventions that had nothing on the market, yet when I dug deep enough I found patents already covering it.

Eh, it's such a basic idea that I think it has already been patented and it probably has already expired. At any rate, I don't see anything like it on the market. I can't buy it anywhere. It could also be used to make tea as well. And it can be mechanically designed in many different ways while still offering the same functionality.

I could help. I'll sign an NDA anyway and if it's beyond my skill I'll give it up without a hitch.

A friend of mine has been running a mechanical engineering consulting business for about 14 years, doing exactly what your are asking (taking drawn on napkin concepts and productizing them). PM me if you want to get in touch with him.

Cool! You know some CAD, right? I kind of remember you telling me that you did.

Good Luck FuzzyBabybunny!

It is one of the best experiences in the world when you design a product, it gets produced, then your product/brand are in thousands to millions of households...

even better when you are making money doing it too! I'll buy one or a few = I drink alot of coffee and tea...^_^

Yes.

I'll buy the idea for $10. Then I'll be the only person who knows how to make it and I'll officially have the most hipster way to make coffee.
