We are seeking a highly skilled 3D Designer with expertise in creating .stl files for coin/bar designs. This is project-based work and volume will vary based on need. We are looking for a firm or individual with strong experience in 3D modeling, sculpting, and precision design using industry-standard software like Blender, Rhino, ZBrush, and Autodesk Fusion 360. Designer will be responsible for transforming conceptual designs into high-quality, 3D models ready for production, ensuring both aesthetic detail and mechanical accuracy. Key Responsibilities: Design and create detailed 3D models for custom silver coins, including reliefs, textures, and engravings. Develop .stl files for 3D printing and CNC machining, ensuring high precision and manufacturability. Collaborate with internal teams (or clients) to understand design requirements and translate them into 3D models. Ensure final designs meet industry standards for production, including considerations for metal casting and minting. Revise designs based on feedback and iterate to achieve optimal final results. Manage multiple design projects, delivering within deadlines and budget. Required Skills & Qualifications: Proficiency in 3D Modeling Software : Expertise with at least one of the following: Blender, Rhino, ZBrush, Autodesk Fusion 360, or similar software. Knowledge of TinkerCAD or FreeCAD is a plus. Experience with .stl file creation for 3D printing, CNC machining, or metal casting applications. Strong portfolio showcasing experience in coin design, jewelry, or similar fields (preferably with examples of relief designs or intricate engravings). Understanding of materials (particularly silver or other precious metals) and manufacturing constraints. Attention to detail with a strong sense of aesthetics and design accuracy. Problem-solving skills for technical design challenges related to the minting or casting process. Ability to collaborate effectively with clients, artisans, and production teams. Education : Degree in Industrial Design, 3D Design, or related field preferred (but not required based on portfolio and experience). Preferred Qualifications: Experience with silver or precious metal design for coins, medals, or jewelry. Knowledge of engraving, relief modeling, and minting processes. Familiarity with ArtCAM or similar tools for artistic relief work (even if discontinued). Basic understanding of CAD for mechanical design (especially for more complex coin projects). Benefits: Flexible working hours (for freelance/remote). Opportunity to work on unique, custom designs in a creative field. Collaboration with experienced artisans and manufacturers in the coin and jewelry industry
