I have been waiting for this product for the PC for a few months now. It is 123dapp.com/make#download-make
You can take an STL file from any 3d modeling software and this allows you to make laserable sheets to assemble it.
My students have made some pretty cool items using this technique. Much more affordable for large scale prototypes than using our 3D printer.
Enjoy. I will post some pics later, but there are a lot of examples on the website.

Is it further along in development than the main 123D app? Reason I ask, I tried that one a month or so ago: they described it as "beta" (still do, although the version has bumped up), but my experience was more like "pre-alpha"...it's the kind of thing that gives "twitchy" a bad name.
Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
We used to be hunter gatherers. Now we're shopper borrowers.

The world makes a lot more sense when you remember that Butthead was the smart one.
You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ammo.
I'm with Lee... gave up on that one shortly after trying it out. Annoying...

Here is a shield that I made from a 3D model to somewhat resemble captain america's original shield. The corel file should give you an idea of the cuts.
