questions about other options

[Howard Howell]

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

Could you please provide URL links to the respective software packages
that you need packaged? Modelling of devices (semiconductor) is
definitely under our interest, and packages that facilitate the same
are useful.

A first glimpse from me, I would say from an electronic point of view,
it can be a good fit _after_ our: PCB flow.

It is basically the task of the mechanical engineer to design 3D
mechanical bodies. The electronic engineer will interface with him to
convey his needs during the design of such 3D mechanical bodies.
