Developing 3D Design Software
If I were to develop a 3D design software, is processing/p5.js a good way to start? Or is three.js more optimal in this case?

@cvaf -- what kind of 3D design software? What will it do -- what are your goals?
@jeremydouglass. The aim is to use the software for designing and later on 3D printing small objects. A relatively high level of detail would be required.
@cvaf -- if you have a 3D printing goal then export data file formats will be crucial to your project.
I am not an expert in this area, but my impression based on a past discussion is that three.js currently has better STL import/export support than p5.js
