I'd articulate that more like: "We're looking to export 3D data  
usable in commonly used CAD applications." Some arbitrary 3D format  
doesn't help, if you can't get it into the mechanical part of the  
design workflow.

Having _usable_ data limits the exporter pretty much to 3D standards  
like STL, STEP, IGES, perhaps AMF or VRML. If this means to export to  
some open source CAD application first, then to process it further  
into one of these standards, that's fine (for me).

It would be very helpful to the discussion if you could outline us  
how to get this openNURBS created data into CAD applications like  
Catia, SolidWorks, Inventor, SolidEdge. That's what mechanical  
engineers are using.
