Expert CAD/CAM Specialist for .STL to G-Code Toolpath Generation in 3-Axis CNC Machining (Granite & Marble) We are seeking a skilled freelancer to convert our .STL design files into optimized G-code toolpaths for 3-axis CNC machining, specifically for working with hard materials like granite and marble. The toolpaths must be generated using Autodesk Fusion 360 and broken down into multiple operations, including rough milling, detailed carving, and fine finishing passes to ensure precision and efficiency. Our team primarily uses Blender for initial modeling and Autodesk Fusion 360 for CAM processing. We will provide the .STL files, and we expect the deliverables to include fully documented G-code files ready for our CNC machine, along with any simulation reports or setup sheets to verify the paths. This project involves ongoing work for multiple designs, so we're looking for someone who can deliver high-quality results quickly and iterate based on feedback. Required Skills and Experience: Proven expertise in CAD/CAM software, particularly Autodesk Fusion 360 for toolpath generation. Strong experience with 3-axis CNC machining, including hands-on operation of CNC machines for stone materials like granite and marble. Familiarity with .STL file processing, multi-operation toolpaths (e.g., roughing, semi-finishing, finishing), and optimizing for material-specific parameters (e.g., feed rates, spindle speeds, tool selection for hard stones). Knowledge of Blender is a plus, but not required. Ability to troubleshoot common CNC issues, such as tool breakage risks or surface quality problems in stone machining. Budget and Timeline: Please include your hourly rate or fixed price per design in your proposal. How to Apply: If you have relevant experience and a portfolio of similar CNC projects (especially in stone machining), please submit your proposal with: Examples of past G-code toolpaths you've generated. Your availability and estimated time for a sample .STL file. Any questions about our setup. We're excited to collaborate—get in touch today!
