fedora 19:
100% 3D Printing Bring 3D printing tools to Fedora and allow users of 3D printers, such as RepRap, to be fully satisfied with software in the repositories, without having to download binary blobs or run Python code from git.
- jlarocco 13y agoAll of the big CAD packages (Solidworks, CATIA, Solid Edge, Pro-Engineer, Rhino, SpaceClaim, ...) are Windows only. Lately OSX has gotten some traction, but it's still pretty marginal. There are translators (e.g. SolidWorks -> STEP, SolidWorks -> STL) that run on Linux, but the better ones, and the ones that support the proprietary formats (SolidWorks, CATIA, etc.) all cost money and couldn't be included in a Linux distro's software repository. So even if Linux supported 3D printing out of the box, it wouldn't be as useful as if Windows did, IMO.
