3D Modeler Needed for Tiki Mug Mold Design Ended

I'm looking for an experienced 3D modeler to help bring my tiki mug designs to life. I have concept images/sketches of unique tiki mug designs that need to be transformed into production-ready 3D models and manufacturing molds.

Project Scope:
- Convert existing concept images/photos into detailed 3D models
- Create production-ready files suitable for ceramic mug manufacturing
- Design molds that can be used for mass production of ceramic mugs
- Ensure models are optimized for the ceramic slip casting or press molding process
- Provide files in formats suitable for mold making (STL, STEP, or other manufacturing-appropriate formats)

Required Skills:
- Proficiency in 3D modeling software
- Experience with product design for manufacturing
- Knowledge of mold design, particularly for ceramic or pottery production
- Understanding of manufacturing considerations
- Ability to create files suitable for CNC milling or 3D printing of molds

Ideal Candidate Will Have:
- Previous experience designing drink ware, mugs, or similar products
- Understanding of ceramic manufacturing processes (slip casting, press molding, etc.)
- Portfolio showing consumer product design work
- Strong attention to detail for capturing tiki-style artistic elements

The expert will work remotely and should be able to communicate clearly about design iterations and manufacturing feasibility. I'm excited to collaborate with someone who can help turn these creative concepts into real product... read more
