Software is at the center of our product development, as it bridges the transition from digital models to beautiful physical form in 3D printing.

Formlabs’ software team continues to develop one of the most powerful and intuitive desktop print applications on the market: PreForm. Fine-tuning the geometry of models in space is one of the most complex challenges our Software Team tackles -- such as: Path planning and tool path generation, motor control for the printer, print success estimation (failure mode detection, typically using FEA/FEM, computational fluid dynamics, etc.), geometry (mesh slicing, polygon arithmetic, mesh repair and generation), support structure generation, printer/desktop dissemination , and dynamic, real-time print failure detection (computer vision, machine learning).

The Job:

  • Develop world-class desktop 3D printer software with a focus on geometric algorithms
  • Guide the development of cutting-edge software features from inception to release
  • Bring innovative features to our users from underlying algorithms to intuitive user interface

  • Have developed 3D graphics or computational geometry
  • Love to study computer science journal articles
  • Fearlessly face algorithms
  • Work seamlessly with a diverse team of developers, engineers, and designers
  • Have initiated and completed complex projects, alone and on time
  • Are ready to routinely ship bulletproof software to thousands of customers

Bonus Skills:
