Mechanical / Plastic designer wanted

"Depending on what happens next" I may urgently require the
services of a mechanical designer very experienced in the
design of plastic products.

I'm in the middle of an ongoing design iteration of a
"housing" which has some crucial but fairly modest
mechanical needs. The current design iteration process is
unsatisfactory for various reasons and I need someone to
take what I have already and rapidly complete it with as
much iterative input from me as required.

One alternative is to use a big name big dollar design house
who undoubtedly has the capabilities required. Another is to
ask if anyone here thinks that they may be up to the task OR
can recommend a company who has done well for them in this
area in the past.

I'm NOT going to spell out on list what's required, but it's
simple enough that I am sure that I could do an excellent
job of doing it myself. The point is that it's not my area
of formal expertise and too much is riding on this to let
somebody without proven capability finish the job.

If you can design a plastic housing that uses O-rings to
provide a waterproof seal, have a good idea of the sort of
stresses that will be placed on components of a product
during assembly and subsequently,  have good experience of
design for injection moulding and other plastics
manufacture, know your ABS from ASA and more ... AND can
intelligently follow instructions ...

OR

Can recommend a company that can help.


Please contact me.
On or off list as suits you.

A client of mine had a very good experience with
<http://www.rimcoresources.com/>.  They seem to know their plastic and
have connections with several sizes of factories in China.  Design
services were free or very cheap - as long as we used their factories of
course.

I've worked with Scott Ganaja at http://www.pro-gressiv.com/ on several
projects (including the dental curing light shown on his home page). He
does EXCELLENT work.
