The public computers here have OpenSCAD installed or Blender. But any 3D modeling software can generate a STL file to print if exported properly. If you aren;t up to the OpenSCAD class (it’s not too tough) stop by an open house Wednesday night and check the place out.

I think the idea of sculpting and scanning might be a good way to help a lot of my fellow artists get a handle on this process. As for myself, I’m more of a drawing/painter person, so I’m excited to lean the programs. At your space, does everyone use different programs with the 3D printers, or is there a computer lab that has some basic programs that everyone can use?

Blender is a program that could do it, or Z brush. I’m not too familiar with them. You might also try sculpting and scanning your object.

I’m an artist, and I’m looking to use a 3D printer to make an action figure, an eagle, actually, that I have in mind. I notice you said “OpenSCAD does not excel at organic pretty things.” Thank you for that. Any advice on what program would be good for me to start learning so I could come into a hackerspace with a good start on my project? I have to admit, I do not know any programming….bad start already, right?

Thank you,
Jessi
