Product / Industrial Designer – 3D-Printed Skate Prototypes
I’m looking for a product / industrial designer who enjoys hands-on prototyping and designing parts that actually get used, tested, and revised.
This is not a branding or “final render” job. You design → I 3D print → we test → we iterate.
---
### What we’re working on
I’m prototyping 3D-printed parts for roller skates, across two skate setups (Flaneur + Bont).
The main focus areas:
- Front-of-boot protection (toe / front impact areas)
- Hybrid designs that also function as, or integrate with, a jam plug
- Exploring different attachment methods to the boot and plate
Early versions are expected to be rough. The goal is to test ideas quickly and refine what works.
---
### Who this is for
You’re a good fit if you:
- Design physical products, not just screens
- Are comfortable designing for 3D printing
- Like thinking about how things attach, wear, and fail
- Enjoy fast feedback loops and iteration
- Are happy working from real-world testing rather than long briefs
This is very much maker energy, not consultancy energy.
---
### Deliverables
- 3D-printable CAD files (STL / STEP)
- Designs that can be easily modified and iterated
---
### How to apply
Please include:
- A short note about your experience with physical / product design
- Examples of things you’ve designed (especially 3D-printed or manufactured parts)
Bonus (optional):
Any experience with sports gear, footwear, or mechanical parts
