Student job / internship at Roger Bacon Eyewear

Join our small team as we develop and expand our business of making perfectly fitted glasses. Using 3D scanning, parametric design, 3D printing and post-processing techniques we are at the forefront of a new generation of personalised manufacturing.

Roger Bacon Eyewear is a team of four people located in Amsterdam, with a relaxed atmosphere and flexible working days. We value initiative and are continually developing new applications and designs for our business.

At Roger Bacon we create made to measure eyewear. The optician makes a 3D scan of the client in the store and selects a frame in the digital catalogue. We use the scan to make the frames perfectly fitted. A 3D printer produces these frames in polyamide or titanium. We launched Roger Bacon three years ago and now work with opticians in the US, Belgium and The Netherlands, with plans to expand.

Job description
We use Rhino with Grasshopper scripts to adjust the frame based on the 3D scan of the client. As we are growing fast and production is increasing we could use some extra help! We are looking for someone with excellent Rhino skills who can possibly also help us improve the Grasshopper script.

Apart from this there is room to support our research of the ergonomics of eyewear. Every face is unique, so our glasses should be as well! You can help us further research how to improve the fit and make the frames even more comfortable.

What we are looking for:
• Excellent skills in Rhino
• Experience with Grasshopper is a big plus
• 1-2 days a week availability
• Minimum of 3 months
• Living in the Netherlands

What you can expect from us:
• An exciting workplace in Amsterdam
• Travel expenses paid for
• Flexible work times
• Opportunity to design your own custom eyewear
• Opportunity for continuous employment
