3D Scan Trainer — Mechanical Engineering, Scan-to-CAD

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Germany.

📋 Description

• You provide practical training on the fundamentals of 3D scanning, emphasizing mechanical engineering.

• You instruct on the complete Scan-to-CAD process: 3D scanning → point cloud → mesh → reverse engineering → CAD model → technical drawing → manufacturing.

• You oversee project work involving real components to ensure relevant practical experience.

• You incorporate current technologies and industrial applications into your teaching.

• You assist participants in effectively applying their knowledge in practice, including in a virtual classroom setting.

⛳️ Requirements

• Essential: a technical vocational qualification or degree, such as in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, product development, or surveying.

• A minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in 3D scanning, reverse engineering, or digital data capture.

• Strong understanding of various scanning technologies (e.g., laser, structured light, or handheld scanners).

• Proficiency in handling point clouds, mesh data, and common file formats (STL, OBJ, PLY, STEP).

• Experience in preparing and post-processing scan data.

• Practical experience in integrating scan data into CAD systems.

• Background in reverse engineering technical parts and assemblies.

• Good knowledge of technical drawings and engineering principles.

• Experience in adult education or training delivery.

• Strong proficiency in tools such as Artec Studio, Geomagic (Design X/Warp), PolyWorks, VXelements, or FARO Scene.

• Familiarity with at least one CAD system (e.g., Inventor, SolidWorks, Creo, or NX).

• Understanding of metrology, quality standards, and data evaluation.

• Ability to evaluate scan results for accuracy and practicality.
