Summary
Kasper Steenstrup is a senior software engineer and architect specializing in geometry processing, optimization, and high-performance computing. He currently drives CAM software development at Autodesk and previously led the CAM and nesting initiatives at 3Shape, including hardware integration and new milling/3D printer workflows. He earned a PhD in Geometry and Computer Science from DTU, with additional doctoral work at The University of British Columbia, focusing on fast, production-aware algorithms for large-scale fabrication. He has a proven track record of shipping performance improvements, such as redesigning a 3D printer support placement algorithm from O(n^6) to O(n^2) and modernizing the codebase through Git adoption and developer training. He also brings teaching and mentorship experience from roles at DTU and the University of Copenhagen, shaping courses and guiding students and junior engineers. Based in Gentofte, Denmark, he combines rigorous research with hands-on software delivery to produce reliable, scalable CAM and geometry processing solutions.
