product design research 3d modelingWe need an industrial designer to spearhead the design of an aesthetic and ergonomic shoe (Gǔ) within 15 days.
- We need to adapt Gǔ’s design to align with Zellerfeld’s 3D-printing system.
- We need to ensure the design meets their material constraints and print tolerances.
- Possibly tweaking thickness, structure, and surface details for optimal manufacturability.
Aesthetic & Ergonomic Design:
- The designer should refine Gǔ’s form while ensuring comfort, support, and wearability.
- Balancing futuristic aesthetics with functional elements like footbed support, flexibility, and weight distribution.
- Potentially refine texture, proportions, or details to enhance visual impact and user experience.
Timeline (15 Days):
- A tight schedule means the designer must work efficiently
The final deliverables include:
- A printable 3D file that is ready to be submitted to Zellerfeld.
- The design must conform to Zellerfeld’s mould constraints, including material shrinkage, layer adhesion, and flexibility.
- Videos of the design process without showing your face
