Cad cam engineer cnc granite machining

Scope of Work : The CAD/CAM Engineer will be responsible for the entire digital fabrication pipeline , covering: 2 D Drawing Interpretation & 3 D Conversion Import, clean, and prepare 2 D architectural or sculptural drawings (DWG/DXF/PDF). Generate accurate 3 D CAD geometry (solid/surface/mesh) suitable for stone machining. Convert conceptual sketches, hand drawings, or photographs into 3 D models. Align all models to Vasthu-based coordinates, datum, and reference axes. 3 D Sculpting & Detailing Preparation Collaborate with STL artists and sculptors to refine organic or figurative forms. Optimize mesh geometry, correct topology, and prepare STL/OBJ files for CAM readiness. Ensure seamless continuity between adjoining components (columns, beams, panels, etc.). CAM Programming & Toolpath Generation Develop multi-axis toolpaths (3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis) for all machining stages: Roughing / Semi-finishing / Finishing / Polishing / Engraving. Simulate machining operations, avoiding collisions or gouges. Post-process verified G-code compatible with CNC controllers (Fanuc / Siemens / Syntec). Calibrate tool offsets, wire saw parameters, and spindle feeds to match granite density (Mohs 6–7). Machine Integration & Execution Support Coordinate with CNC operators for setup, fixturing, and block orientation. Validate output dimensions, surface accuracy, and artistic detailing. Adjust feed rates and coolant flows for tool life and finish optimization. Document tool libraries and machining parameters for repeat jobs. Quality, Documentation & Data Management Maintain CAD/CAM file archives with proper revision tracking and metadata. Generate setup sheets, toolpath documentation, and machining time estimates. Maintain compliance with MAMAT standards for accuracy (±1 mm) and repeatability (≤ 0.5 mm). Collaborate with QA and structural teams to validate as-built geometry. Software Proficiency (Full Pipeline): 2 D to 3 D Design Conversion: Auto CAD / Draft Sight / Brics CAD – 2 D drafting and layout base. Rhino 3 D / Solid Works / Fusion 360 / Creo – for parametric 3 D modeling and assembly. ZBrush / Blender / Meshmixer – for organic sculpting, mesh repair, and STL cleaning. Reverse Engineering & Scanning (if applicable): Geomagic Design X / Mesh Lab / Poly Works – for converting 3 D scan data into CAD surfaces. CAM Programming & Toolpathing: Autodesk Power Mill / Mastercam / Rhino CAM / Work NC / Fusion 360 CAM – for generating toolpaths for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC granite machining. Simulation Software: Vericut / NC Viewer / Module Works for collision and kinematic simulation. Post-processing: Controller-specific postprocessors (Fanuc / Siemens / Syntec). File Formats to be Managed: Input: DWG, DXF, PDF, STL, OBJ, IGES, STEP. Output: NC/G-code, CAM setup sheets, simulation files, technical drawings. Qualifications & Experience: Education: Diploma / B. E. / B. Tech. in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Production, or Industrial Design. Experience: Minimum 3–5 years in CAD/CAM programming for stone, marble, or metal machining. Preferred: Experience with granite or hard stone materials and large-format 5-axis macines. Technical Skills: Deep understanding of toolpath strategies for hard stone. Expertise in tool calibration, feed/speed optimization, and coolant management. Knowledge of diamond tool selection and wear behavior. Familiarity with robotic or gantry-based CNC systems. Behavioral Competencies: Detail-oriented and methodical with artistic sensitivity. Strong spatial visualization and analytical thinking. Ability to work cross-functionally with sculptors, designers, and engineers. Dedication to quality, heritage, and innovation. Deliverables: Approved and verified toolpaths for each stone component. Setup sheets and machining logs for traceability. 3 D and 2 D data archives with full documentation trail. Feedback reports for machining accuracy and optimization.
