We have, and do agree the software looks promising indeed.
For us it would be interesting in combination with our lowcost RP,
as a complete solution from idea to prototype.

My question would be how the software compares to the other lowcost
NURBS packages I do know:
XCAD of Xitron software (USA)
Amapi of Yonowat (France)

Delft University of Technology recently choose Amapi for training purposes.
Main reason was the inability of XCAD (V3 was reviewed) to export STL files.
Note: the next version (XCAD 4) will have DXF output in polyface meshes that
can be converted to STL.

Any other experiences out there ?

Lex Lennings.
