Is it possible to design 3D woodturning projects with CAD on a Raspberry Pi

Former Member

Right sorry if this sounds a bit daft (I am a compleat novice at this computer, software & engineering thing) I am a professional woodturner and I stumbled Across the raspberry pi by accident and was wondering if it was capable of doing the following

 

i want to design my woodturning projects on the computer but find CAD 3D design completely mind boggling so i am looking to use something like this Creative Woodturner - Woodturning Design Software - See a stunning 3D view of your woodturning design its a program for windows that's used to design (via nodes and a 2D view) objects made on a lathe with a 3D CAD output it would be really helpful just to know if it's possible on a raspberry pi

 

 

all help is appreciated

  • Craig,

     

    If your interest is only in wood turning, you do not need 3D software.

    It would be nice, but it is not needed. Because all the parts that you make are created

    by rotation around a fixed axle, you only need to create a cross-section of the piece you need,

    and that is only 2D.

     

    Just my $0.02,
