Two questions: First, What's a good 3D modeling and 3D printer drive software? I don't mean modifying existing IGES files, but ground up design.

Second: Is there a media available for lost wax investment casting? Lost wax sand casting (crucible furnace aside) is a relatively low cost/low tech to use stronger mettalics.
