About the job

1. Core CAD Deliverables

These are the essential 3D and 2D files manufacturers use to build molds, tooling, and samples.

Deliverable Format Purpose
3D Model (Final) STEP (.STEP / .STP) Universal 3D format for tooling/molding and CNC reading.
Editable CAD File Native file (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Rhino) Source model for future edits.
2D Drawings / Tech Sheets PDF + DXF Dimensioned drawings for each shoe component (sole, midsole, upper panels, heel cup, etc.).
Exploded View Assembly STEP / PDF Shows how all parts fit together (sole layers, mesh panels, laces, logo plates, etc.).
Cross-Sections / Wall Thickness Views PDF or CAD Verifies consistent wall thickness for molds (especially for outsole and heel).
🧱 2. Manufacturing Documentation

What the factory or mold maker needs to interpret the design correctly.

Deliverable Content
Material & Thickness Chart Lists all materials (rubber, EVA foam, PU leather, mesh, TPU, etc.) and exact thickness or Shore hardness values.
Bill of Materials (BOM) Table listing every part: part name, material, color, finish, quantity per pair, supplier reference (if any).
Assembly / Stitching Diagram Diagram showing stitch lines, glue zones, and material overlaps.
Exploded Part Labels Each component labeled (upper panels, sole units, inserts, tongue, lace holes, etc.) with consistent part numbers matching the BOM.
Tolerance & Fit Notes Callouts for areas with tight fits (l... read more

Tolerance & Fit Notes Callouts for areas with tight fits (like eyelets, outsole bonding areas, toe-box curves).
🧵 3. Upper Construction Files

Specialized for textile/leather manufacturing:

Deliverable Format Purpose
Flattened Pattern Files DXF / AI / PDF Laser cutting or die patterns for sewing and stitching upper.
Material Mapping Diagram Color-coded PDF Shows which fabric/material goes where (mesh, suede, leather, etc.).
Logo/Embroidery Files AI / SVG / DXF For branding placement (side logo, heel, tongue).
Stitch Type Specification PDF / Table Indicates type of stitch (double, zigzag, lock) and thread thickness.
🦶 4. Sole & Mold Preparation

Critical for injection molding or 3D printing the outsole/midsole:

Deliverable Format Purpose
Outsole 3D File (with tread) STEP For CNC or mold machining.
Midsole 3D File (with cavities) STEP For EVA or foam injection.
Draft Angle / Mold Direction Notes PDF Ensures mold release feasibility.
Parting Line Diagram PDF / DXF Shows mold split lines for outsole.
Material Shrinkage Allowances Included in notes Required for accurate sizing after molding. read less
