Re: gEDA-user: Pointer to 3d CAD?

[Dave N6NZ <n6nz@xxxxxxxx>]

Excellent pointer! A quick glance at their web pages shows that they are 
at least trying to solve my problem.  Definitely something I need to 
check out.

STL == "stereo lithography" file.  As I understand it, zillions of 
triangles defined by x,y,z coordinate triples.  A lot of rapid 
prototyping equipment takes in STL. The TechShop ( http://techshop.ws )
is supposed to get their 3D printer "real soon now"... so I'm getting 
ready :-) Eventually I may want to go to injection molding.

Thanks,
   Dave
