[OpenSPIM] CAD Files

[Jan Krieger]

Hi!

about CAD:
1. OpenSOurce formats are nice, but I'm not sure whether the 
professional CAD programs can load them.
2. Autodesk has a university program, where you can download a free full 
(in the sense of really everything except Maya) version of all their 
programs, as long as you have an e-mail-adress of a university or are 
associated to one. For me that worked nicely with my adress from 
university of Heidelberg, but also with adresses from the german cancer 
research center (just said that it's a non-profit research institute). 
So this is an easy way to get a professional CAD (Autodesk Inventor) 
without paying, but with all the features ;-) If anybody is interested. 
Here's the link:

So could you do any of the Autocad Inventor formats, or one of the 
formats, most companies provide on their homepages (e.g. STEP, IGES, DXF 
- but that's not 3D), as most CAD programs should be able to read that.

Best from Heidelberg,
JAN
