Hello,

I am new to 3D printing and to these forums. I am plying around with some concepts in a Calculus class I am teaching, and I was wondering if anyone knew a way to import graphs and equations into a CAD program. We have been playing with Cura and TinkerCad as well as our graphing calculators and DESMOS online. If there were some way to copy and paste a 2D graph from DESMOS into a CAD program that could then be raised into the 3rd dimension, that would be most perfect. Right now we're playing with hollow cylinders, but I'd like to get some more complicated base shapes for 3D figures.

Additionally, if after this, I were somehow able to raise a figure with same shape but different sized cross sections (think, a football cake that has semicircular cross sections of different sized depending on the diameter placed on the base of the cake), it would be eternally useful.

If there is another more appropriate place for me ask this, let me know.

Thanks!
