Re: Microfluidics Chat Thread WAS: [DIYbio] Paper request

So far I've had the most 'success' using implicitCAD (to make that
mesophyll protoplast fusion chamber), it can export as STL or SVG if
you don't do any 3D (i.e. extrude) operations, with arbitrary quality
(higher quality means it does more mathematical calculations to refine
the rendered output). 2D rendering is much faster than STL.

I also have been playing with verbnurbs, but have only made a
parametric parabolic channel, and it currently doesn't have data
export... though people tell me since it has triangles already
(tesselation generates triangles from the 3D math operations) it is
relatively easy to implement STL export... which could then be sent to
any existing STL slicing program to get lithography masks (or in the
case of laser-printer + shrinky-dink, deposition traces).

(Sometimes it seems I have to refresh that page to get dragging and
zooming and panning to work)
