Project Overview: We need a 3D CAD model and photorealistic rendering created from our existing technical PDF drawings of an industrial welding rack (Drawing Number: E7409, dated 1/16/2025). The rack is used for holding welding machines and related equipment in an industrial environment. The goal is to produce both a precise CAD model for fabrication and a high-quality render for marketing and presentation use. Design Details Name: Welding Rack Drawing Reference: E7409 Dimensions: Approx. 42.375″ L × 40.000″ W × 41.500″ H Materials: Frame: 1.5″ × 1.5″ × 3/16″ Hot-Rolled Steel (HRS) Square Tubing Shelves: 11-Gauge HRS Sheet (8 shelves total) Corner & Base Plates: 1/4″ HRS Finish: Smooth welds with industrial matte black or raw steel texture Construction Notes: Include all welded joints and plates as shown in drawings Add 4 caster wheels (industrial style, ~4″ diameter) Chamfer or round edges slightly (0.1–0.2″) for realism Maintain dimensional accuracy ±1/16″ Deliverables Required 3D CAD Files Editable parametric CAD model Include all parts and assemblies (tubing, shelves, plates, casters) 2D drawings (front, side, top, isometric) with dimensions Label all parts according to the PDF drawings Photorealistic Renders Minimum 2–3 high-resolution renders (1920×1080 or higher) Renders should include: Studio shot (clean background, even lighting) Workshop environment shot (metallic reflections, mild ambient light) Optional hero shot with two welding machines placed on shelves Material textures must show mild wear, matte steel, and smooth weld seams. File Formats Please include native CAD file + exported STEP (.step or .stp) Render outputs in .PNG or .JPG (preferably PNG for transparent background) Optional: Include STL for 3D printing preview Future Compatibility We will use this model for: Manufacturing / fabrication drawings Product renderings for marketing Integration into larger workshop layouts We currently use: Fusion 360 SolidWorks AutoCAD / Inventor Please recommend which CAD file type (STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, F3D, etc.) will give us the best long-term flexibility for editing, fabrication, and rendering. Attachments WELDING RACK Drawings (PDF) — full set of dimensional and material details. Please Include in Your Proposal: Preferred CAD and rendering software (Fusion, SolidWorks, KeyShot, Blender, etc.) Recommended final file type(s) for long-term use Estimated turnaround time Cost for both CAD modeling and rendering Examples of previous industrial or fabrication-style renderings
