I am looking for a product designer, prototype engineer, or mechanical designer to help develop a portable salon basin system for mobile hairdressers and home salon operators. The concept is a compact, portable hair-washing station that does not require permanent plumbing. The unit should include: * Salon chair * Shampoo basin * Fresh water tank * Waste water tank * Battery-powered water pump * Compact storage cabinet * Wheeled design for transport A key requirement is that the chair and basin system must be portable and capable of folding or collapsing into a compact unit for easy transport in a standard vehicle. The goal is to create a working prototype that is lightweight, practical, easy to transport, and suitable for mobile hairdressers, aged care facilities, rental properties, and home salon businesses where permanent plumbing is not available. I am looking for assistance with: * Product design * Folding mechanism concepts * Prototype development * CAD drawings * Material recommendations * Manufacturing advice I have concept images and reference ideas available and would like to discuss the best design approach before building the first prototype.

I’ve worked on design projects that required balancing functionality, portability, and efficient use of space. Developing a compact salon basin with integrated water systems, storage, and a foldable transport-friendly design requires careful consideration of ergonomics, materials, and manufacturing feasibility. I can help translate the concept into a practical prototype through 3D modeling, CAD development, folding mechanism studies, and production-ready design documentation to ensure the system is both functional and easy to manufacture. Do you already have target dimensions or transport constraints in mind, or would you like me to propose the most efficient folding configuration for the first prototype?

Hello there! Could you please share your concept images, reference products, preferred portability dimensions, and any target weight or manufacturing budget requirements for the first prototype? I can help transform your portable salon basin concept into a practical, prototype-ready product by combining industrial design, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing considerations. My approach would begin with evaluating the user workflow and creating multiple folding/collapsible mechanism concepts for the chair, basin, storage cabinet, and transport structure. I would then develop detailed CAD models, recommend lightweight and durable materials, integrate the fresh/waste water system, battery-powered pump, and mobility features, while considering ergonomics, stability, cleaning requirements, and real-world use by mobile hairdressers. The final design process would include prototype documentation, manufacturing guidance, and refinements to ensure the product is practical for small-batch production.
