3D Cad tools unfortuanatly I haven't found any I particularly like among the
open source projects. Personally I am using QCad for 2D and Sketchup for
3D. I use Blender for organic modleing and rendering though.

Hmm.. ok. that sounds interesting.
I don't want to make action figures so much, but part of my interest is
organic shapes...
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?
AFAIK rapid prototyping machines work with triangle meshes, so using a
polygon modeler is no problem. It's even the way to go for organic
shapes like action figures. There's a RP startup that works with Blender
a lot. However, for precise geometrical shapes, Blender
is the wrong tool. It
can be done to some degree, but it is just painful compared to a decent
CAD tool.
Do you know any decent open source CAD tools?
I haven't yet found one I am completely content with....
sincerely,
Marije
