CAD files for the case of the Neo will be made available

[Jeremiah Flerchinger]

I don't think ProE by itself is suitable, especially since you need a 
copy of ProE even to import it to BRLCAD.  I myself would suggest 
Wavefront (.obj), ASCII DXF (.dxf), or STL (.stl) file.  All are 
standard formats & should be in ProE and any other 3D editor.

Instructions for converting from ProE to STL are as follows:
 
ProE

    * File > Export > Model
    * STL
    * Set chord height to 0. The field will be replaced by minimum 
acceptable value.
    * Set Angle Control to 1
    * OK

ProE Wildfire

    * File > Save a Copy > Model
    * Change type to STL (*.stl)
    * Set Chord Height to 0. The field will be replaced by minimum 
acceptable value.
    * Set Angle Control to 1
    * OK*
*
I'm sure the process would be similar to convert to either of the other 
2 formats.
