Designing for 3D printing (and Wings vs Sketchup Questions)

[sandman]

alejandro,

Wings3D is great for 3D printing applications. I have access to commercial CAD software but I prefer the Wings camera interface, and I also like that it is not history-based, but uses dumb solids, making it much less workflow dependent. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you are trying to do, but it works well for me. If you want to see an assortment of models I've printed that I designed in Wings3D you can see them on my website here:
