At Drucks, we're building one of the world's first consumer footwear brands powered entirely by additive manufacturing.
n
Every shoe begins with an individual's feet, not a standard mold. We are building the complete technology stack that makes this possible, including computational design workflows, digital manufacturing tools, custom software, proprietary manufacturing processes, and advanced FDM 3D printing.
n
We're looking for someone who enjoys solving engineering problems through computational design and automation.
