Part 1
1. SculptrisKiCad uses an integrated environment for all of the stages of the design process: Schematic capture, PCB layout, Gerber file generation/visualization, and library editing. KiCad is a cross-platform program, written in C with wxWidgets to run on FreeBSD, Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Many component libraries are available, and users. KiCad is developed by the KiCad Developers Team, and features an integrated environment with schematic capture, bill of materials list, PCB layout and much more. KiCad is cross-platform, written with WxWidgets and runs on FreeBSD, Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. A lot of component libraries are available.
Features and functions:
· The Sculptris serves as a powerful yet elegant tool for designing 3D art-forms or sculpting through digital media.
· The program, at its centre, provides the user with a clay ball each time it is run, from where on one can proceed with designing/sculpting .
· The toolkit and the mechanism for creation of designs are unique yet easy to understand.
· Sculptris makes it possible to drag and place clay models, alter their shape and size, materialize your designs in any desired fashion.
· The tool in sculptris functions solely through mouse buttons.
Pros of Sculptris:
· Thisfree CAD software for Macneeds no prior installation.
· It is a lightweight program that serves as an effective and utility application for 3D modelling ventures.
· This program helps create amazing designs without having to go through tedious learning curves or learn extensive technical concepts.
Cons of Sculptris:
· Certain editing options such as 'undo' and some commands are not easily accessible.
· Support or software-specific help are not too particular and can be developed for better user experience.
· The interface does not quite match up to the industrial standards.
User Comments/Reviews:
·Easy UI (user interface) enables learning of complete program via trial and error in a less than an hour rendering virtually anything you may be able to sculpt with clay instantly with professional quality.
· Very simple. Can export to brush (using GoZ) or as an ob_x_ject to be opened.

KiCad is an EDA software suite for the creation of professional schematics and printed circuit boards.
KiCad is electronic design automation (EDA) software made for designing schematics of electronic circuits and printed circuit boards (PCB). KiCad is developed by the KiCad Developers Team, and features an integrated environment with schematic capture, bill of materials list, PCB layout and much more. KiCad is cross-platform, written with WxWidgets and runs on FreeBSD, Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. A lot of component libraries are available. Also migrating tools for components are available (from other EDA software tools). File formats are plain text and well documented, which is good for CVS or Subversion and to make automated component generation scripts.
Multiple languages are supported, such as English, Portuguese, Spanish, Czech, Polish, French, German, and Russian.
The 3D PCB viewer use 3D model from Wings3D CAD.
