Customizable 3D Car Model for Printing

# 3D Automotive Designer Needed – Custom Car Exterior Model for Full-Scale 3D Printing

I am looking for an experienced **automotive 3D modeler / vehicle designer** to create a detailed exterior 3D model of an original car design.

The vehicle design and general proportions have already been developed. I will provide the available reference material, drawings, images, dimensions, and design direction.

The goal is **not simply to create a rendering or game model**. The finished model will eventually be used as the basis for a **full-scale (1:1) 3D-printed physical model**, so dimensional accuracy, clean surface geometry, symmetry, and proper scale are important.

## Scope of Work

The project is focused on the **exterior of the vehicle only**.

The model should include:

* Complete exterior body shape
* Front and rear bodywork
* Hood/bonnet
* Roof
* Doors and exterior door surfaces
* Fenders / wheel arches
* Rocker / sill areas
* Front and rear fascia
* Grille and exterior openings
* Headlight and taillight shapes
* Exterior glass surfaces
* Mirrors
* Wheels and tires for proportion/reference
* Other important exterior design details visible in the supplied design

A detailed interior, engine bay, suspension, drivetrain, and mechanical components are **not required**.

## Intended Use

The completed vehicle model will eventually be prepared for **full-scale 3D printing/fabrication**.

Because of this, the exterior geometry should:

* Be modeled at accurate real-world dimensions
* Have clean and continuous exterior surfaces
* Maintain proper symmetry where appropriate
* Avoid unnecessary or messy topology
* Be suitable for conversion into watertight printable geometry
* Allow the vehicle body to later be divided into sections for large-format 3D printing

I am primarily concerned with getting the **exterior design, proportions, and surfaces correct**. The final segmentation of the vehicle into individual printable sections can either be discussed as part of this project or handled separately.

## Deliverables

I would like to receive:

* Complete editable/source 3D model
* Full-scale 1:1 vehicle model
* High-resolution export suitable for fabrication
* STEP / IGES or another appropriate CAD/NURBS format if the software/workflow supports it
* STL or equivalent mesh export for 3D-print preparation
* Original native project files

Please let me know which software you would propose using for the project.

## Preferred Experience

I am particularly interested in freelancers with experience in:

* Automotive exterior modeling
* Vehicle concept development
* Automotive surfacing
* CAD or NURBS surface modeling
* Alias, Rhino, Blender, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, or similar software
* Models intended for CNC machining, molds, prototyping, or large-format 3D printing

**Automotive modeling experience is strongly preferred.**

## When Applying

Please include examples of previous **car/vehicle models**, especially exterior automotive surfacing work.

I would also like to know:

1. What software you would use for this project
2. Whether the final model can be provided at true 1:1 scale
3. Whether you have experience preparing models for 3D printing, CNC, molds, or physical fabrication
4. What reference material you would need from me
5. Your estimated project timeline
6. Whether you would recommend polygon/subdivision modeling or CAD/NURBS surfacing for this particular project

I am looking for someone who can work collaboratively with me through revisions so that we can refine the design and proportions before finalizing the model.
