[free-electronic-lab] questions about other options

Hi, everyone,
	I am working on some projects, and have come up with the need for
packaging.  Normally you can just package something with some prefab box
or tray, but I would like these to be a bit better.  In that vein, I
found the Cupcake CNC, which extrudes ABS to create 3d objects.  It
utilizes some software that is apparently free/opensource.  Blender is
one package, but one that interests me (being graphically challenged as
it were) is Openscad.  Then I thought what if we could get Openscad into
this FEL package.  It seems like the combination of FEL with Openscad to
create packaging on the Cupcake CNC (under $1000 3D printer sold as a
kit) should be a good fit.

So that is my question, more or less, would it be a good fit and what
would it take to get Openscad bundled?

Regards,
Les H
