This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

What do you mean my applications? Software applications for running a 3d printer, or applications that the printer could be put to? – Mark Booth Jun 29 '12 at 10:20
sounds like a shopping list / software rec list to me :| – warren Jun 29 '12 at 13:05
Sorry, shall I repost that as software needed to create/design/render objects that a 3D printer will then translate into a workable file? I can research said software and post links or is this not the forum for that? – Marcelo Jun 30 '12 at 8:00
That's precisely the problem - it's a research / options/ list answer, not a definite answer (yes/no/use this tool _). difficult to get a 'right' answer. – Renoir Jul 3 '12 at 19:24

To me the question seems specific to software due to the phrasing - although I'm not sure whether that makes it more or less acceptable to a SE site. – Matthew Bernhardt Jun 29 '12 at 12:54
