LIFE AT BROOKS

DEVELOPMENT

SLIDE 8

DEVELOPMENT

Footwear Development = short timelines

Work on 3 seasons of footwear

concurrently

Fall 2018, Spring 2019, and Fall 2019
4-5 designs must be reviewed and

confirmed in one week

Quick iterations of designs is our key to

success

SLIDE 9

FOOTWEAR DESIGN

Iteration until perfection

1. Designer sketches 2D blueprint of a shoe’s midsole/outsole
2. Blueprint is sent to Asia development/engineering team
3. Asia development/engineering redraws in 3D CAD
3. 3D file is sent back to US HQ for review
4. 3D part is printed to confirm it matches our design vision

Repeat until perfect

3D PRINTED PARTS

Our specs

Currently, our Connex3 is used to validate our designs

Non-functional 3D models
VeroGrey, VeroBlack, VeroWhite, SUP706
We can print four midsole/outsole parts on our 3D printer at once
Print times range from 7-26 hours

SLIDE 12

PRINTING PROCESS

3D printing = saving time and money

3-4 days to confirm and validate designs
Connex 3 = 2 chances to review
3D printing on our Connex3 saves $500-$800 each model we print
If we print only 2 versions of each shoe…
= $8000 saved per season
Time saved = invaluable

SLIDE 13

THE FUTURE

In our perfect world…

3D printing will comprise 100% of the whole development/design

process

We will be able to print fully functional prototypes

with perfect material composition

Leverage 3D printing as future method for

manufacturing
