Rather than slamming 3d printing, how about an assist in
designing/processing the parts for printing?

Most of the posters have a knowledge of cad, and can create
a 3d wire form of an object. and have access to a cad
program.

What hints would you care to give to the group for creating
3d surfaces from a wire frame model, particularly compound
curved surfaces and inside corner radii, so these are
"manifold" and can be processed through a "slicer" program
to generate the FFF g-code file for 3d printing?

Do you know of any [free] VBA or AutoLISP macros or add-ons
to "skin" a DXF/IGES wire frame?

I'm going to continue to tell it like it is about 3D printing and CADCAM. So will others that are members of CADCAM Technology Leaders group on LinkedIn.

A worthless circle-jerk if there ever was one.
