3D Jig Maker - ArtBlast

🏢 Source: Upwork
💰 Budget: 150$

Project Overview

We have 3 products which we laser engrave on a new working area. We will need jigs for the front and back of this product, as to keep the product laying flat on the bench. We require a total of 6 jigs, which we can 3D Print.

Workflow

1. Clean up existing 3D Scan: smooth surfaces, clean up obvious mistakes
2. Create “Mould” of this 3D scan: Extrusion, Carve out cavity using boolean function, create 2 mounting holes (m6), Account for spill over,

Note

*It won’t actually look like a full mould which surrounds the product on all planes, but rather a jig that keeps the product in place, and the rest of the jig can be flat*

Requirements

1. At least two mounting holes to secure jig to engraver workbench
2. Keeps the hanger flat
3. Instead of having it like a complete reverse mould, we can simply create peaks around the hanger to make sure it rests properly — without using too much material or making the jig heavy
4. Labeling the name of the jig in the centre (Names to be provided)
5. Keep the centre of the hanger head in the horizontal centre of the Jig (100% mandatory)
6. Keep the centre of the hanger head in the vertical centre (this is okay, we can offset slightly higher)

Additional Considerations

7. Because the hanger is bigger than the work platform, the jig might spill off the engraver bed. That’s why I measured the height of the platform (exactly 20mm)
