Define both ends of the mount
Share the mounting surface and the component it must hold. A dimensioned drawing is useful, but photos beside a ruler can start the conversation. Include the connector side of a camera or sensor, as a mount that fits the body can still block the plug.
Say whether the position is fixed or adjustable, and whether the component must come off regularly. Those decisions guide the shape, the fastening and the clearance we need to leave around it.
Check the view and the access
For a camera, mark the view that must stay unobstructed. For another component, show the working face, any moving pieces and how the cable bends. An AI-assisted shape exploration can work around these spaces once they are identified in the brief.
Start with a trial mount to confirm the interface and orientation. If vibration, repeatable positioning or a specific load limit matters, describe the acceptance check you need. We can then separate a simple fit model from the additional validation your application calls for.
Questions about camera & component mounts
Can a mount combine two different mounting patterns?
Yes, that is a useful starting brief. Supply both patterns and the distance or orientation between them. We can explore an adapter body around those fixed interfaces.
Can you design from photos of the component?
Photos help us understand the assembly. Critical dimensions still need to be measured or verified in a prototype before the fit can be agreed.
