TEMPLOT 3D PLUG TRACK - To get up to speed with this experimental project click here.   To watch an introductory video click here.   See the User Guide at Bexhill West.

  • The Plug Track functions are experimental and still being developed. Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.

    For an updated overview of this project see this topic.   For some practical modelling aspects of using Plug Track see Building 3D Track.

    The assumption is that you have your own machines on which to experiment, or helpful friends with machines. Please do not send Templot files to commercial laser cutting or 3D printing firms while this project is still experimental, because the results are unpredictable and possibly wasteful.

    Some pages of this and other topics include contributions from members who are creating and posting their own CAD designs for 3D printing and laser-cutting. Do not confuse them with Templot's own exported CAD files. All files derived from Templot are © Martin Wynne.

This video is a review of currently available free CAD programs for creating your own designs for 3D printing, or modifying the STL files from Templot.

There are many of these "best free CAD programs" web sites. But unlike most, this one mentions 3D Builder, and favourably. If you have been using 3D files from Templot it's likely you have already been using 3D Builder, so this might be of interest to show you what else it can do in addition to mesh-fixing:

3d builder from windows itself is a very good program i use it for years, but i miss several functions from autocad that several "free" programs dont have, i cannot afford auto or bricks cad for my hobby.
