1.  Summary 
========================================================

- MODELA 3D DESIGN
This is a 32-bit Windows-based program that you can use to intuitively create three-dimensional objects.
An object is created by taking a predefined shape such as a cylinder or sphere -- called a "basic shape" -- then using control rods called "reference lines" to modify the basic shape and make the final shape.

- MODELA 3D TEXT
This is a 32-bit Windows-based program that creates three-dimensional renderings of TrueType fonts in Windows. You can edit entered text to change its size or type of font, or make it bold or italic. Vertical text is also supported.

- MODELA Player
MODELA Player is a 32-bit Windows-based program for outputting cutting data to modeling machines from Roland DG Corp. (including the MODELA, CAMM-3, and CAMM-2). MODELA Player can import objects created using 3D software from Roland DG Corp. (such as MODELA 3D DESIGN, MODELA 3D TEXT, and Dr. PICZA), as well as objects made using commercially available 3D software.
