I am working for a startup out of a top tier Boston university doing desktop 3D printing. We have an agreement with Autodesk where they will be developing custom cloud based software that will communicate directly with our printers. They are looking for a dev to do browser based 3D design software. You will be working in our offices at the school while we build out and test the printer. We need someone who knows best practices for web based 3d design software. Check out 123Design to see what is currently possible:
