3D Printing Product Designer – Original Product Development

We are a U.S.-based e-commerce business in Silicon Valley, California, with years of experience and a strong track record in online sales. We are expanding into original 3D-printed product development for the U.S. market and are looking for a talented designer for long-term collaboration.

Responsibilities

Research market opportunities and propose original product ideas.

Design functional consumer products using 3D CAD software.

Optimize models for FDM 3D printing, including structure, materials, tolerances, and printability.

Develop and refine prototypes based on printing results.

Deliver editable CAD files, STL/3MF files, and basic printing instructions.

Provide remote design and printing support to our U.S. team when needed.

Requirements

Experience in product design, CAD modeling, and functional product development.

Proficiency in Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Rhino, Blender, or similar software.

Practical knowledge of FDM printing and materials such as PLA and PETG.

Ability to take products from concept to prototype.

Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

Consumer product or e-commerce experience is a plus.

Initial Product Ideas

Desk organizers, modular storage, personalized gifts, tool organizers, hobby accessories, and other practical consumer products.

We welcome designers who can develop original ideas and identify promising product opportunities, not just model existing products.

Deliverables

Depending on the project, deliverables may include concept sketches, editable CAD files, STL/3MF files, printing recommendations, and design revisions.

Scope, revisions, payment milestones, and commercial rights will be agreed upon before work begins. Any third-party models or assets must be disclosed.

How to Apply

Please provide:

Your portfolio, preferably including photos of actual 3D-printed products.

Your CAD software and 3D printing experience.

One example of a product you developed from concept to prototype.

Your estimated price and timeline for a small paid trial project.

We value creativity, practical design skills, reliable communication, and long-term collaboration. Our goal is to develop original products for commercial sale, not just create attractive renders.
