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. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
