I have been interested in doing some 3D work on the laser as well, but unfortunately have not had the time to dive into it yet. In doing some research a few months back I found that some people have been successful in using a 3D application called Rhino combined with a plugin called Grasshopper for 3D work on the laser.

Rhino is the 3D application where you would do your modeling and from what I understand, Grasshopper slices and adds the required notches to assemble your 3D object.

You probably already know this, but you should check out lazerbuzz. Owner is a member here and he has great designs/templates that are ready to go.

You might look at the epilog laser web site. Their sample club has many good beginner projects for download.
