Does anyone have an experiences that they can share using any of the above (or other S/W if similar) to design stylized, surfaced models from digitized raw data? What are the pluses and minuses? What method of digitizing have you used? Which S/W works best for surface manipulation? How well do they port to other S/W packages (Pro/E for instance)? How easy to move to Rapid Prototypes and/or injection mold tooling? Any drawing capabilities (any need?).

Thanks,
Bob Kerila, PE

Used Alias for a short time in college with the idea of developing rapid prototypes through stereo-lithography. In two years (part time!) we were never able to get the data developed in Alias to port properly. To qualify this, we were students working on our own, so much information was not passed on to us. Does anyone else have any experience with this?
