Software for the RP&M Professional

I’ve been setting up builds with Lightyear of 3D Systems from 2000 through most of 2007, and have acquired very good experience in it. I just started to set up builds with Magics two months ago and I am delighted! I believe that Magics is a smart program. Among other things, it takes me a lot less time to do the editing that I used to do in Lightyear. I can set up a full platform in minutes! Although I still consider myself a beginning user, I’m very grateful that this kind of program is around. It really helps me to improve my performance at work, not to mention that there’s now less stress on my wrist and arm. Thank you!!!
