Modify 3D DWG & Set Up Automated CNC Nesting (Game 1 of 6)

We are modifying a series of 6 CNC-cut OSB-based interactive games.

We are starting with Game 1 as a pilot project, with the intention of awarding the remaining 5 games to the same freelancer if completed successfully.

The current design exists as a DWG file containing separate 3D solids (each part is an individual solid body).

Scope of Work – Game 1

Implement Design Modifications (pdf document with modifications will be provided)

Apply structural updates as detailed in the supplied PDF, including:

Removal of all non-90° Z-axis cuts (CNC can only cut vertical walls)

Adjusting angled components to suit vertical-only cutting

Adding locating tenons and corresponding slots

Adding alignment notches to prevent incorrect assembly

Updating 9mm MDF walls to 6mm plywood

Modifying curved ends to suit plastic ducting

Adding locating holes where specified

All modifications must remain suitable for CNC routing from flat sheet material.

Restructure & Name All Parts (names need to make sense for the assembler)

Ensure each part remains a separate 3D solid

Apply a clear and logical naming convention to each part

Names must be embedded in the file so they can transfer into automated nesting software

Deliver a clean, organised master file

Automated Nesting Setup (NOT Manual)

Parts must be nested using automated nesting software, not manually arranged.

Nesting requirements:

Sheet size: 2440mm x 1220mm

Minimum spacing between parts: 15mm

Allow rotation unless structural orientation requires otherwise

Output: Nested 2D DXF files (one per sheet)

The nesting process must be reproducible and re-runnable.

Please confirm in your proposal:

Which software you will use (e.g., Rhino + OpenNest, Fusion 360 + Nesting Extension, etc.)

How part names will transfer into nested files

Manual layout is not acceptable.

Deliverables

Updated master 3D CAD file (DWG or equivalent)

All parts properly named

Nested 2D DXF files per sheet

Clean geometry (no duplicate lines, no broken polylines)

Any nesting configuration/settings used (so the process can be repeated)

All source files must be delivered at completion.

Important

This is Game 1 of 6.
If completed successfully, we will proceed immediately with the remaining 5 games.

We are looking for a long-term CAD/CAM partner.
