Details

We need an industrial designer to spearhead the design of an aesthetic and ergonomic shoe () within 15 days.


  • We need to adapt ’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 ’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



Deliverables

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
