Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping

In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Wacom seems to be the industry standard, and not just because of a popularity contest. It seems to be actually the better brand, but I can't speak really from experience because I've only every used wacom (graphire and now intuos 4).

I have bought a few other cheap tablets, but none of them lived up to the precision and sensitivity of the my Intuos 4 Wacom tablet. A bit expensive but if your a digital artist, its a real good investment.

I run off the Wacom Cintiq 12" and consider it the best investment of my life.

i have the Wacom Bamboo Fun, it was fairly cheap ($150) at the time. I use it for pretty much everything other than Maya, I like it a lot for the price. I used a Intuos while I was going to school they are awesome but to expensive for me atm.
