Seeking a mechanical engineer proficient in SolidWorks to design a twin-cylinder steam engine rated for 150 PSI. Initial prototypes will be 3D printed in PLA/PETG, followed by a final metal version.
Scope Includes:
- Custom displacement lubricator design
- Optional steam trap, Y-strainer, and basic clutch/reversing mechanism
- Optimization for both 3D printing and machining
Deliverables:
- SolidWorks source files (.SLDASM, .SLDPRT)
- Complete STEP file
- Dimensioned PDFs with exploded views
- Annotated flow diagrams (steam, oil, exhaust)
- McMaster-Carr-compatible BOM with specs
Requirements:
- Ensure technical viability and safety at 150 PSI
- Suggest design improvements as needed
- Mechanical engineering background with experience in pressure systems and component integration preferred
