3d designs for molds and handles??

[josephmoore78]

Hi guys! Might be a little crazy.... But I have access to a cnc router and laser cutter via work now :OD I am a happy camper believe me! That being said, we don't have a 3d graphic rendering tool to mock up molds and handles... Anyone happen to have some laying around they could send? I know its a huge shot in the dark but hey! Why not!?!? Thank you in advance for suffering my delusions... Joe

Any mold and handle blueprints would be great as well!!!

Check out Alibre's site:

Hmmmm, they used to have Alibre Express which was free. Limited to 10 parts in an assembly but fully functional and totally free.

I see it is available at Tucows:

I started with Alibre Express then bought Alibre Design for work. After I quit that job, I bought Alibre Personal edition for $200.00. It is the base version but works very well.

If you have never used a parametric modeler there is a learning curve.
