Seeking: Grasshopper Expert - Custom G-code for TPU Footwear

We’re developing an advanced Grasshopper workflow for slicing and 3D printing footwear using TPU, and we’re looking for someone with experience in custom G-code generation to join our team.

Project Scope

  • Development of custom Grasshopper scripts for model slicing and toolpath generation

  • Creation and optimization of G-code specifically for TPU material

  • Material behavior analysis and print parameter optimization

  • Integration of findings into automated workflows

    Technical Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in Grasshopper scripting

  • Experience with custom G-code generation and modification

  • Understanding of FDM 3D printing principles and slicing parameters

  • Ability to analyze and optimize material-specific printing parameters
    We’re actively conducting material tests to characterize foaming TPU’s behavior during printing. This understanding will inform the development of our custom slicing and G-code generation workflows.

Collaboration Type

  • Contract/consulting basis
  • Remote collaboration possible
  • Timeline and compensation to be discussed based on experience

Please respond with:

  • Your relevant experience in Grasshopper scripting and G-code generation
  • Examples of similar projects, particularly any involving non-standard materials
  • Thoughts on approaching the unique challenges of TPU
  • Preferred collaboration terms

Hi,

I have relevant experience in 3D printing with different types of materials, making custom G-code scripts in RH & GH and 3D printing shoes. if you are interested, we can schedule a meeting. farzadfarzadnia1@gmail.com

Best, Farzad

Hi there,

I worked in 3D-printed footwear design and manufacturing for five years, with hands-on experience in printing TPU, both consumer and proprietary materials. My work included design, optimizing printer hardware, refining G-code for flexible materials, and developing Grasshopper workflows. While most of my recent Grasshopper work has been in other areas, I’m comfortable creating advanced scripts and automation tools.

I’d be happy to chat and see if my experience is a good fit for your project. Let me know if you’d like to connect.
