I'm working on a proposal this weekend, and I want an illustration of a kapton flex PC board. Imagine a flat garden rake shape with prongs on both ends, some of them twisted out of the plane. I can draw the flat pattern, and I have a model cut out of paper, but I want a cool 3D illustration, maybe a couple of views, with the transparent amber kapton. I can go to Tap Plastics and get a sheet of amber plastic film, cut it with scissors, and draw the traces with a silver Sharpie, and fold the ends and hang it from a thread and photograph it. I'd probably get away with that, but a real 3D computer model would look better. Anybody want to do this this weekend, for some reasonable compensation? I suppose I should learn some 3D software myself some day. -- John Larkin Highland Technology Inc jlarkin at highlandtechnology dot com Precision electronic instrumentation

Hi James,

Three years ago it was $100 US for the most basic version, $1000 US for the highest version.

Thanks. The company now is part of 3D Systems, they've changed the product name to GeoMagic, and the Amazon listings all say "no longer available."

Hopefully that bargain is still out there--it looks pretty nice. You'd think a 3D printing company would want as many people pumping out 3D designs as possible...

Cheers, James Arthur

History suggests that is not the case. It's all about the money with these guys.
