3D printing software in Fedora

There are several software needs for 3D printer users: 3D modeling tool, such as OpenSCAD or Blender; slicing tool, to "compile" the 3D model to a set of G-Code instructions, such as Skeinforge or Slic3r; and finally a printer control software, such as Printrun, Cura or RepetierHost.

Other useful application is meshlab, that allows users to view and simplify STL files, but it is already in Fedora, so it is not mentioned more.

Most of the mentioned tools (except some 3D modeling software) are currently not present in Fedora (or other Linux distributions as well). The goal is to bring them here, and make Fedora the best distribution for 3D printing.
