Formative 3D is seeking a CNC Operator to support post‑processing operations and fabricate custom fixtures and jigs that enhance our production workflow. This role blends hands‑on machining with technical precision and close collaboration across production and engineering teams.
You’ll operate CNC and robotic milling equipment to post‑process large‑format 3‑D‑printed furniture components while contributing to continuous improvements in efficiency, quality, and shop operations.
Operate 3‑axis CNC routers and 6‑axis robotic milling machines to post‑process 3D‑printed components and produce fixtures and jigs
Interpret technical drawings and CAD files to set up and execute milling operations
Perform post‑processing tasks on printed parts, including trimming, sanding, and surface finishing
Inspect machined and printed parts for dimensional accuracy and quality standards
Maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot CNC equipment and tooling
Collaborate with engineering and production teams to improve fixture design and workflow efficiency
Assist with general shop duties, including material preparation, organization, and equipment upkeep
2+ years of experience operating CNC milling machines in a production or prototyping environment
Familiarity with G‑code, CAM software, and CNC setup procedures (Fusion 360 preferred)
Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail
Experience with post‑processing plastics or composite materials (preferred)
