Job Opportunity: Advanced Parametric Modeler for 3D printed titanium bike

Hi Onshape Community,
I am the founder of a french Titanium bicycle brand. We are launching a new project involving a fully 3D-printed (SLM) monocoque titanium road frame.
I am looking for a freelance Onshape expert to build the parametric master model for this project.
The Challenge: We are working with a professional bike fitting company. Our goal is to generate a unique frame geometry for each rider based on their specific biometric data (Stack, Reach, Seat angle, Power output, Weight).
We need a robust Onshape model that can ingest this data (via CSV/Configuration Table) and automatically update the frame's geometry while maintaining perfect surface continuity and aesthetic integrity.
Scope of Work:
- Parametric Surfacing: Translate our design roughs into a clean, organic 3D model. The frame is aero in style, not just round tubes. G2/G3 continuity is required.
- Data Integration: Set up the logic to drive the model dimensions from an imported dataset (CSV).
- Robustness: The model must handle size variations (from XS to XL) without breaking the feature tree or surface connections.
- DfAM (Optional but preferred): Basic setup for SLM printing (shelling, powder evacuation holes) based on the rider's weight/power metrics.
What I am looking for:
- You are not just a drafter; you understand design intent and top-down design.
- You have deep experience with Onshape Configuration Tables.
- FeatureScript knowledge is a huge plus (especially if needed to automate complex geometry updates or custom features).
- Experience with bike geometry or complex organic surfacing is highly valued.
Deliverable:A fully parametric Onshape document where I can input a row of data (Fit coordinates) and export a manufacturing-ready STEP/STL file.
Interested? Please DM me with:
- A link to your portfolio or public Onshape documents showing complex parametric surfacing.
- A brief sentence on how you would approach the "Skeleton/Wireframe" for a bike frame that changes size automatically.
Thank you.

Bonjour Demur,
Expect my response in your DM at the end of the day! Sounds challenging and exciting!
Greetings from the Netherlands,
Jelte
Great project. We'd love to help you with this. You can learn about our Onshape mechanical design services here. I will shoot you a DM.
