We are looking for a person with experience in designing sheet metal elements intended for laser cutting.
We need the preparation of about 3–4 new designs of decorative metal spheres. The spheres are made from several flat laser-cut elements, which are then bent on a special mold and welded together to create a three-dimensional sphere.
Example of the finished product:

We are attaching a DXF file of the existing project. The file shows: the shape of a single element from which the sphere is assembled, the arrangement of the pattern, the places of joining and welding of the elements, the proportions and technology of product execution. Scope of work: preparation of 3–4 new, distinct designs, maintaining the external shape and dimensions of the element according to the submitted DXF file, designing patterns suitable for laser cutting from sheet metal, considering the subsequent bending of elements on the mold, preparing technically correct DXF files, possible introduction of minor corrections after performing a test cut. The motifs can be related to flowers, leaves, grasses, or simple decorative patterns. We are also open to the designer's proposals.
Technical requirements: all elements of the pattern must be properly connected to the main part of the sheet, after cutting, no significant fragment can fall out, very small details, thin bridges, and too many short cutting lines should be avoided, the pattern should be aesthetic but also as economical as possible in production, lines in the DXF file must be closed, without duplicates, overlapping contours, and unnecessary points, the project must be directly suitable for preparing the program for the laser. Expected files: separate DXF file for each design, source files, e.g., DWG, CDR, AI, SVG, or the CAD program format in which the project was created, preview of each design in PDF, JPG, or PNG format. Please send: examples of previous laser cutting projects, information on which program the designs will be made in, the price for preparing 3–4 designs, information on how many corrections are included in the quoted price. The most important thing for us is experience in designing for actual laser cutting. We are not looking solely for visualizations or randomly generated graphics – we need technically correct production files.
