Freeform Tech Stack
AI-native metal 3D printing systems for industrial-scale manufacturing
Freeform builds integrated hardware-software systems for metal additive manufacturing, with a tech stack anchored in low-level systems (C++, Rust, FPGA, GPU, CUDA) and mechanical design tools (NX, SolidWorks, Zemax). The engineering-heavy hiring profile—30 of 43 active roles—paired with active projects spanning custom electronics, HPC-based real-time simulation, and petabyte-scale telemetry reflects a company scaling from prototype toward production systems. Pain points cluster around physics-based modeling, GPU simulation performance, and post-processing automation, signaling the operational complexity of turning algorithmic gains into factory throughput.
