Based in Barcelona (Spain), Podotec3D is at the intersection of Healthcare, Advanced Manufacturing, and Algorithmic Design. We don't just manufacture orthopedic insoles; we engineer them using parametric logic. We are transforming a traditional industry by replacing manual processes with code-driven solutions.
The Product & Vision: We are migrating our production architecture from standard file-based workflows to a proprietary "Direct-to-Print" ecosystem. Our goal is to build a secure, RAM-based manufacturing pipeline that connects our parametric algorithms (Grasshopper/Rhino 8) directly to our hardware, bypassing standard slicers to achieve mathematical precision and IP protection.

1. Project Overview We are migrating our manufacturing workflow from a file-based system (STLs) to a secure "In-Memory Streaming" architecture for FDM/FFF 3D printers
.2. The Architecture
- Core Engine: Rhino 8 (Grasshopper definition already developed) running headless via Rhino.Inside.
- Slicing Strategy: We do NOT use external slicers (Cura/Slic3r). The geometry slicing, infill generation (Gyroid/Lattice), and G-code conversion happen entirely within a custom Grasshopper definition.
- The Application (.NET/WPF): Acts as a wrapper. It sends users parameters to GH, retrieves the generated G-code list (Strings), and streams it to the 3D printer via USB/Serial Port.
3. Your Role We need you to build the "Bridge" and the Automation logic:
- Optimize the Grasshopper definition for G-code generation (handling retractions, flow rate, and variable density).
- Develop the C# Wrapper (Rhino.Inside) that executes this definition without UI.
- Implement the hardware handshake (printer validation).
4. Terms & Payments
- Format: Milestone-based project.
- Settlement: We facilitate payments via USDT or Bank Transfer, depending on your preference and location constraints.
