thanks for the link.
At first sight it seems more geared to 3D modelling for animation graphics,
rather than for making realworld objects.
I need to model some things in order to "print" them on a rapid prototyping
machine...
Is Blender a suitable candidate for that?

Actually, I am
looking for some 3D software for drawing 3D structures.
Eventual output format needed is STL...

http://www.ualberta.ca/~cwant/blender/stl.py is a plugin to export STL
from blender, which is a great environment for modeling 3d, once you
get over the learning curve.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro is a good
wikibook tutorial, that happens to cover modeling in the first hundred
pages or so of the beginner volume.
