How to design a new product idea?

[curiousmarketer]

I need to share a new product design for an existing physical product available in the market with a large multinational firm.

The old product is cylindrical in shape, whereas the new suggested design is circular.

So now I want to show how the product will look as per the new design, while also retaining the existing branding (logo, colors), etc.

Which software or tools can I use to do this?

Thanks

Maybe hire a guy on Fiverr/Upwork to design it for you?

Well, I don't know if I have enough information but by the description of a "physical object", I would say SolidWorks or Autocad.

But there are people who might know more than me in this area, and it's definitely needed more information to draw a conclusion of what suits best and why.

EDIT: SolidWorks probably works. You can draw coffee machines and parts of vehicles with that, which are pretty complex designs, so, I would say solidworks.
It's also what is used at universities by mechanical engineers, who are the experts designing that kind of pieces.
But it's a licensed product.

Congrats on progress!

Best tool would be your wallet.
As @Sebastya said hire someone to do it for you.

If you can't then maybe try Blender (its free 3d tool),use any free drawing app and make perspective drawings or even sculpture one physically.

3D programs have their steep learning curve, so be warned, you can spend lots of time and have nothing to show in the end.

I think you need to provide a different description. A cylinder is three dimensional, but a circle might have only one dimension.

If you want to retain the existing branding (logo, colors), etc. are you trying to piggyback on the multinational's design? If so, be careful, they could come after you if there is any resemblance that a smart lawyer could say breaches copyright or trademark.

There are some free CAD modeling softwares that you can use. I use Shapr on my iPad quite often... but you need to pay if you want to export a high resolution file (which it doesn’t sound like you want to do).

What I would do if I were you is simply sketch the idea to the best of your ability and pay someone on Upwork or Fiverr. Pretty simple. If your idea doesn’t require intricate working parts to communicate, it can help the presentation to just get a simple 3d model that will take a couple of hours for someone with experience to draft.

You could pay anywhere from $20-100 if it’s a just for show type of thing.

Thank you all for the suggestions, I will try these out.

Just to clarify, this corporation is of the view that their product design has become outdated as it looked pretty much the same for well over 3-4 decades now. So they were thinking of introducing new designs in the market and were inviting ideas.
