1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
adidas is an industry leader in computational design. We are currently working on several computation/parametric design concepts both in apparel and footwear. The aim of this project is the Implementation of parametric design prototypes for both categories.
2. SERVICE DESCRIPTION
the Client will provide all necessary products, information, guidelines, contact details, documents, access to relevant systems and all other requirements in advance. Handover of each virtual product in relation to the defined scope below (shared via appropriate means: Bitbucket for code and examples and Sharepoint for documentation) to adidas for approval.
The scope of services includes the following tasks, which are independently performed by the contractor:
* Implementation of small prototypes for parametric design of apparel and footwear articles / components in Grasshopper
* CAD (computer aided design) repair and simplification in Rhino: Fixing of modeling errors (typically small gaps, intersecting surfaces, wrongly oriented surfaces) to enhance the quality of the CAD geometries and make them useable for simulation.
* CAD simplification in Rhino: Removal of small geometric detail that is not relevant for simulation
* Translation of existing footwear CAD models into parametric designs in Grasshopper: Remodeling of the provided CAD files using a parametric workflow in Grasshopper to expose grading (~scaling and other fit adjustments) functionality
All tasks must be performed based on the contractor’s own expertise.
The performance of the contractor has the goal:
Implementation of parametric design prototypes for both footwear and apparel applications.
