The client is seeking a product design solution for a physical 5x5 tile slider (24-tile puzzle) with a key functional enhancement: the ability to remove and replace individual tiles. The initial focus is strictly on modifying an existing base design to allow for tile removal while maintaining the usability of a standard sliding puzzle. Additionally, the client is interested in exploring the feasibility of producing an electronic version with similar functionality once the mechanical system has been proven. Materials for the product can be either plastic or metal, depending on feasibility and cost-efficiency. A major priority is minimizing tooling and production costs, with a preference for leveraging or adapting an existing UK-based manufacturer capable of modifying current designs. The selected freelancer should ideally have experience in product design, mechanical design, and manufacturing sourcing, particularly within the UK. Key Deliverables: - Modification of an existing base design to allow tile removal - Concept/design for a 5x5 slider with replaceable tile functionality - Recommendations or identification of suitable UK manufacturers - Feasibility for developing an electronic version with similar functionality - Guidance on production feasibility and cost-efficient implementation Preferred Expertise: - Product/industrial design - Mechanical design (small consumer products) - Manufacturing sourcing (UK-based preferred) - Knowledge of electronic systems (for future exploration)
