CAD System
I have been experimenting with Blender and AoI, as mentioned previously. They seem to have about the same functionality, but AoI has a much more intuitive user interface, so I think we should go with that. In addition the AoI guys have been really helpful responding to queries and suggestions. (There is no implication here that the Blender people were not - I simply had nothing I needed to ask them.)
Note that, if the RepRap project uses AoI and you want to use RepRap, you can design with any system you like. RepRap will still be compatible with what you do as long as you can create STL files. We have no desire, nor requirement, for others to use the same CAD system as we do.
