If we can get the file in anyway into solidworks, we can go from there. The printer takes a .sldprt file and then converts it into some random file and then sends it to the printer.

Got MatLab available on your campus? This is a cool thing I found.

Also, from an engineering perspective, check out the cool way these people made a shell shape on this page:

This sounds like a cool project. Good luck with it.

Btw, what kind of Rapid-Prototype machine do you have? Z-Corp?
Yeah I'll try the "blobs" approach. I was trying to coil and sweep, but its just not working right.

As for the kind of machine it is a "dimension" printer.... http://www.dimensionprinting.com/

Thanks for the help...keep the tips coming folks
