Industrial Designer Needed – Modular Hunting Bino Harness System I’m looking for an experienced industrial/product designer to help develop a new modular binocular harness system for hunting. The concept combines technical soft goods with custom mechanical attachment hardware. I already have the overall product concept, functionality, and design requirements established. I need someone who can turn the concept into a realistic, manufacturable design and prototype-ready CAD/specification package. The Product The system will use interchangeable binocular carriers designed for different optic sizes, including 42 mm and 56 mm binoculars. The user can carry either carrier individually or mechanically connect both carriers together. A major part of the project is developing a lightweight male/female sliding rail system that allows the carriers and accessory pouches to connect securely to one another. The harness also needs an adjustable mechanical anchor system, excellent ventilation, low weight, water resistance, quiet operation, and one-handed access. Key Design Priorities * Lightweight and low-profile * Comfortable for all-day hunting * Excellent airflow between harness and body * Quiet materials and hardware * Highly water-resistant construction * Modular 42 mm and 56 mm optic carriers * Structural male/female sliding rail connection * Universal accessory attachment system * Mechanical load-bearing harness anchors * Minimal use of bulky plastic components * No magnets or zippers for the main binocular opening * One-handed access * Safety tether system * Manufacturable using realistic soft-goods and molded-component processes Designer Experience I’m Looking For Ideally you have experience with one or more of the following: * Hunting/outdoor equipment * Backpacks or technical soft goods * Tactical equipment * MOLLE/modular equipment * Injection-molded hardware * Buckles, rails, clips or quick-release systems * Product engineering * CAD for injection molding * Prototype development * Design for manufacturing (DFM) Experience designing both sewn products and mechanical components would be a major advantage. Deliverables I would like: 1. Refined industrial design 2. Dimensioned 42 mm and 56 mm carrier designs 3. Harness/yoke design 4. Custom male/female rail concept 5. Adjustable harness-anchor system 6. Bottom accessory mounting interface 7. Bear-spray and ammunition accessory concepts 8. Material recommendations 9. CAD files for custom molded components 10. Technical drawings/specifications 11. Exploded assembly drawings 12. Prototype-ready files 13. Recommendations for manufacturing and prototyping I have a detailed design brief that will be provided to the selected designer.

Hello, The key part of this project is turning your modular bino harness concept into a realistic, manufacturable system with reliable soft-goods and mechanical connections. I can help you handle this accurately and efficiently without overcomplicating the process. I have hands-on experience with **CAD / SolidWorks, Industrial Design, CAD/CAM**, including translating product concepts into prototype-ready geometry and fabrication details. For your project, I would focus on refining the carrier architecture, developing the male/female sliding rail interface, and building the harness anchor and accessory mounting details, while making sure the final result is durable, quiet, and manufacturable. I can start immediately and expect to complete this within 2 weeks. One detail I'd like to confirm before starting: will you need the rail and hardware concepts optimized for a specific manufacturing method, such as injection molding or CNC prototyping? Best regards, Miguel

Hi, there. Soft goods, molded hardware, and quiet modular interfaces make this binocular harness more of a product engineering problem than a concept sketch. I am ready to get started on your project. I have rich experience with industrial product design, CAD for molded components, and prototype-ready DFM support for technical outdoor gear. I would start by mapping the load path through the harness, rail, and anchor points, then check carrier geometry, strap adjustment range, wall thickness, clip retention, stitch paths, and water-exposure details for manufacturability. Please send the design brief, any rough sketches, preferred binocular dimensions, and photos or samples of hardware you like. Best regards, Thomas A.
