Modular Segmentation & Transport Case Design/Manufacture

The contract calls for the design and fabrication of rugged, lockable transport cases engineered to safely carry model segments during transit, with internal supports tailored to secure each component and prevent movement or damage. Each case must be compatible with standard SUV cargo dimensions and cannot exceed a total weight of 50 pounds per unit, ensuring portability and practical field deployment. The cases must prioritize durability, secure locking mechanisms, and precise internal customization to accommodate specific geometry and fragility of the model segments without requiring additional padding or external reinforcement.
