3D Shoe Last Maker (Remote, Part-Time)

About the role

Duha World is a luxury footwear brand focused on beautifully made shoes, where every pair starts with the perfect fit. As its 3D Shoe Last Maker, you will combine digital sculpting, knowledge of foot anatomy and CAD/3D printing technology to create precise digital and physical lasts. You turn design sketches, ergonomic data and foot scan measurements into production-ready 3D models that balance elegant silhouettes with fit and comfort. This is a fully remote, part-time role working closely with the Design and Product Development teams.

Key responsibilities

• Digital 3D modeling and sculpting of shoe lasts using specialized CAD software such as last-making software, Rhino, SolidWorks or ZBrush
• Anatomical and ergonomic alignment of toe spring, heel height, pitch, ball width and instep, including high heels and refined toe shapes
• Preparing and delivering print- and CNC-ready last files to suppliers and technicians for physical test prototypes
• Grading digital last models across international size runs (EU, US, UK)
• Incorporating feedback from fittings and wear tests to refine fit and comfort
• Working remotely with designers, pattern makers and factory partners on specs and milestones
• Maintaining organized, version-controlled last files and technical documentation

Required profile

• 3+ years of experience in digital shoe last making or footwear development
• A portfolio of recent last designs (renders, screenshots or files)
• Experience preparing files for 3D printing and/or CNC milling (STL, STEP, OBJ)
• Experience grading lasts across international sizing systems
• Experience with luxury or premium footwear, especially women's heels and dress shoes, is an added advantage
• Experience with 3D foot scan data or traditional hand last making is an added advantage

Required skills

• Strong understanding of foot anatomy, fit and footwear construction
• Proficiency in at least one CAD/3D tool used for last making
• Advanced 3D modeling and digital sculpting skills
• Ability to translate sketches, scan data and feedback into accurate technical models
• Clear written communication and self-reliance in a remote setup
