Anyone here good at CAD?

Hey all,

I need a reactor/tumbler designed via Autocad/solidworks/whatever.

Shoot me a message if you're an engineer and are bored, looking to make some money, and want to help on a project.

I took CAD classes freshman year in high school. I got pretty good at it, but it's been a while and it depends on the complexity of what you want to design. I no longer take classes, so I don't have regular access to the modelling software. I can weasel my way into the computer rooms, but school policy is that I cannot send or receive emails.

Could you attach some diagrams so that I have a sense of how complex the object you are building is?

I don't know if this answers your question to any extent.

I can do it in 2D .dwg or 3D .dxf (both AutoCAD). 2D perferred since I don't have to do it at my place of employment.

I agree with Yeti -- how complex is it? I'll do it for free if it's small.

Are you just sending this to a "mom-and-pop" fab house or does it have to be ISO 13567 compliant for production work?

Doug how are you at acrgis and surfer? I have some consulting for you from time to time especially if we can ftp back and forth.

Alas, I'm afraid my name has very little to do with cartography.

It's a titanium tumbler for parts cleaning in aqua regia. Probably about 2 m across by 3 m in length, perforated barrel within polypropylene (steel ribbed) shell with sump for recirculating cleaning solution.
