$25-50 USD / hour

We are a small design organization that is developing novel footwear for post-injury rehabilitation. We have working models and now need to improve our designs with FEA and design-for-manufacturability. This is not a fashion design project. We are seeking someone who has background in functional footwear (athletic, safety or work footwear) or orthosis design. Must be very comfortable with prototype production and have knowledge of making prototypes or connections to prototyping shops.

Hi there, This is Bogdan from Romania. I'm a mechanical engineer - specialized in the industrial robotic field, 3D designer and modeler (from time to time and some projects I could make the functional prototype too). I'm doing product design, industrial design, reverse engineering, ideation, etc. I have over 15 years experience working on various systems/devices across multiple industries, from concept to launch. 1 - what kind of footwear do you need to refine? tall shoes, prosthetics, etc.. 2 - for any model/prototype two types of analysis should be conducted... fea and functional. also the technical assessment on the solutions, materials, manufacturing processes, etc 3 - the design for manufacturability is a bit different from the design for prototyping (even it is a industrial like prototype...) 4 - after the 3d model is designed and approved, the fea could be run, and the poc prototype could be made... 5 - based on the first prototype, the adjustments/improvements/changes will be made and go for the next stage... 6 - i have my own workshop where i could make the prototype(s), but this is a discussion for later... Regards Bogdan

Hello there, Greetings!!!! I am a postgraduate CAD/CAM engineer with high proficiency in FEA, my primary tool for Finite element analysis is Ansys Workbench 19.1 and secondary tool for FEA is Autodesk Inventor. I have been into the field of FEA from last 4 years and have been doing an analysis to determine stress, deformation, fatigue life and all type of predictions that are required to make a design optimised. I am highly proficient in Autodesk Inventor for 3D CAD modelling, and I am using PLA material for all type of rapid prototyping using the 3D printer. I am really looking forward to knowing more about your task, and exact requirement, I will send you samples of my previously performed tasks, so that you can get a clearer idea about my skills. Regards, Kartik Sheladiya

Hi, I was appealed by your footwear project. I look for products that help people like yours. My background is in product development and manufacturing of soft goods and medical products, among others. So, I am very familiar with workflow and challenges with these type of products. I've worked with prototype and manufacturing suppliers in China. I can work on the FEA analysis and mechanical design to make it ready for manufacturing. I should start with a Design review of your product to understand the product and define technical requirements (~4 hours). Next is to work on the engineering analysis with simulations and ideally with some prototyping iterations (~10-30h based on product specifics and maturity). Finally refining the design for manufacturing and defining the technical specifications to send to manufacturers (~10-20h). Many thanks and looking forward for this project!
