It has become painfully obvious that I will never have the time or brilliance to master the programming skills I need to do what I need to do on my own.
I am in the Custom Foot Orthotics business and have been making orthotics by hand for almost thirty years.
I now have a 3d scanner which will output in stl and several other file formats.
I have built a three axis router.
I need to take the scanned 3d file of a foot, make several standard modifications to the shape, drape a surface over the modified shape and then trim and work with the draped surface. Then finally nest it with other work files and send the toolpath/gcode to my router.
I assume a plug-in in Rhino, or Autocad, or a similar platform would be more cost effective than trying to have a standalone program written.
Now for my question: Where is the best place to find someone willing and able to do the programming for this project?
