In a way - note how the regions around the metropolitan cities of Bombay, Madras, Calcutta and New Delhi (using the old names here) are all lightly colored. These were and still remain the major trading and financial centers of the country.

I see an immense potential for a product like this. Art and architecture come immediately to mind. Because it makes a physical wire-frame quickly, it can also be used for prototyping and brain-storming product ideas. I am sure people will c

This is very well implemented. Congrats! I think you guys can jack up the number of files for free users. This will help build up a nice repository of models. How about incorporating some form of shape search tool - might help browse as the

Coming soon! I am just getting the payment system in place and some legal issues need sorting out. The website is Babel3D - http://www.babel3d.com . Right now it only converts for visualization on mobile apps though.

I have recently been prototyping a WebGL based CAD viewer at work, and I could render 4-5 million triangles (that's around 50 MB of geometry data) on a late-2010 MacBook Air 11". Performance is very good on all browsers (FF, Chrome, and Saf
