Your Role
As our new digital craftsman, you’ll work where design meets technology. You’ll help turn bold architectural ideas into precise, producible elements for clay 3D printing.

  • Generate and optimize toolpaths for 3D-printed ceramics;
  • Prepare for production, including rear structures, fixtures, and drying schedules;
  • Contribute to improving workshop workflows;
  • Coordinate between the design team and production planning.


Profile:
  • Experience with digital fabrication, preferably with clay 3D printing or similar materials;
  • Extensive experience with Grasshopper scripting is a must;
  • Proficient in technical drawing (Rhino);
  • Understanding of architectural detailing;
  • Independent, structured, and hands-on mindset;
  • Applicants must be eligible to work in the EU;
  • Bonus: experience with robotics (KUKA).


What We Offer:
  • Work on groundbreaking projects in the Netherlands and abroad;
  • Plenty of room for initiative and personal development;
  • A creative, technical, and ambitious work environment;
  • Market-aligned salary.
