3D CAD Design for Automated Gold Melting & Pouring Machine Project Description: I am developing a concept for an automated gold melting and pouring machine intended for jewellery workshops and showrooms. Currently, gold melting is performed manually using crucibles handled with tongs at temperatures above 1000°C, which can be unsafe and inefficient. The goal of this project is to design a professional 3D CAD model of a compact machine that safely melts gold and allows controlled pouring into a mold without manual handling of the crucible. Key Functional Concept: • A compact furnace chamber that holds a crucible for melting gold • A motorized tilting mechanism that can rotate the crucible holder to pour molten gold into a mold • A sturdy base frame for stability • A mechanism arm or holder that secures the crucible during heating and pouring • Space for heating source (induction heater or furnace chamber placeholder) • A mold placement platform below the pouring area • Safety enclosure or shield around the heating area What I Need From the Designer: • Professional 3D CAD model (SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / similar) • Full assembly model of the machine • Exploded view of the parts • Dimensioned engineering drawings • Basic realistic renders for presentation Design Goals: • Compact machine suitable for jewellery workshops • Stable structure to handle high temperatures • Smooth and controlled tilting/pouring mechanism • Practical mechanical design that could realistically be manufactured Reference Style: Industrial lab equipment / precision machinery aesthetic. Deliverables: • STEP / STL CAD files • Assembly file • 2–3 rendered images for presentation
