[gentoo-user] best CAD app for industrial machining/molding?
hi. i want to design complex shapes, and then send them to some manufacturers. so my drawings need to be very accurate, and compatible with the manufacturers. plus, it would be nice to have the ability of being able to test how structurally strong my design is. e.g. how well it supports loads, and where are the pressured points, etc. a piece of extra information in case it helps: my 1st project has to do with car parts. thoughts on what to use? should i use autocad? else? how should i think? any tips? notes: - i'm on linux. - i'm not a very RMS-moral person. rgrds, cm.

hi. i just want to help a bit by sharing a
thought that i think is useful to the civilisation
of life forms in general:
- new year celebrations are wasteful in
several ways (e.g. waste on needless
purchases [aka gifts], useless fireworks,
useless trees with socks on them, etc).
- the vacation is nice to allow potential good
use of it. but even this is usually abused
by most people as they end up just wasting
it alongside their money for purely doing
silly things such as purposeless tourism.
- i hope that, one day, humanity won't do such
useless things, and --instead-- we re-direct
the otherwise-wasted resources into actually
useful things such as (not limited to):
* contributions to scientific
research.
* foss projects.
* ...
* purchase of scientific books/tools for
smart kids that love science, but live in
situations where their parents are unable
to afford as such to them.
i personally think this last point to be
the best investment in the long-run. most
likely today we lack potentially great
scientists because they simply got wasted
due to lack of funding during their
childhood. likewise today's science
potentially lags centuries behind what it
would've been if we had taken this point
more seriously centuries ago.
it's never too early to start acting better.
